At a CBS News town hall in Michigan released Saturday night, Vice President JD Vance said 'of course there's a chance' he won't run for president in 2028, citing his four young children, and said he will make a decision after the midterm elections, the Washington Examiner reported. Vance said 'gas prices are too high,' blaming Iran's attacks on shipping and refining capacity lost under the Biden administration, and said the administration is using the Defense Production Act to restore refining, Fox News reported. Pressed on corruption allegations, Vance said he sees no evidence of corruption from the president or the administration.
