New: JD Vance has given serious consideration to not running for president in 2028. While Vance has yet to make up his mind, interviews with roughly a dozen allies & advisers reveal a vice president wrestling with his political ambitions, the fracturing of the MAGA coalition and the demands of fatherhood. They described him as deeply committed to rebuilding the movement that won in 2024 but uncertain over whether he should be the one to lead it. Lots of new reporting in this piece w/ @scontorno cnn.com/2026/11/13/politics/…

Greenville-Spartanburg only being Graham +2 in the NYTimes poll should be a huge red flag to everyone that something is up in the polls. In 2024, Greenville County was Trump +22 and Spartanburg County was Trump +34.
