What 2026 means for 2028: Why JD Vance cares a lot about the midterms [View all]

(USA Today) WASHINGTON – JD Vance has a lot riding on next November's midterm elections.

The vice president is seen as the front-runner to be the next Republican nominee for the White House, yet he faces the more immediate challenge of being one of his party's leading messengers as the GOP tries to hold its six-seat majority in the House of Representatives.

For Republicans to be successful, Vance is warning endangered lawmakers that they need to motivate the working-class voters who helped President Donald Trump take back the White House and don't typically show up in non-presidential elections. That challenge was reflected in Republicans' poor showing in the recent Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races, which Democrats won by wider margins than their 2020 presidential victories in those same states.
