JD Vance appears to be creating some distance between himself and Trump, although the nature and implications of this move are unclear. Vance's strategy for 2028 is taking shape, with some outlets suggesting he may be positioning himself as a potential heir to Trump, while others speculate that he could become a scapegoat for Trump's actions. The context of Vance's distancing is also linked to issues such as the Iran war and other administration matters.
