من يرث ترمب؟.. فانس يختبر ثقله داخل الحزب الجمهوري
(opens the publisher’s site)Republicans closed their first-ever midterm convention in Dallas, where Vice President JD Vance sought to position himself as Donald Trump's heir ahead of the 2028 presidential race.
- Vance closed the two-day Dallas convention with a prime-time speech Thursday, delivered immediately before President Trump's final remarks.
- Vance called Democrats "lunatics" and the "party of hate," and told a protester waving a Mexican flag he would buy him a plane ticket to Mexico.
- A poll found 43% of likely Republican primary voters backed Vance for the 2028 nomination, ahead of Marco Rubio at 21% and Donald Trump Jr at 7%.
- Trump urged supporters to vote "as if my name is on the ballot" and pledged $5,000 to every American adult if Republicans win in November.
