Republicans start making moves to challenge JD Vance for 2028 nomination
A poll shows Vance at 44% among Republican likely voters as Cruz, Scott and Massie begin building possible 2028 campaigns.

- November's midterm elections will test President Donald Trump's standing and, by extension, Vance's viability as other Republicans weigh 2028 campaigns.
- Massie, who lost his House primary, cautioned that early polling is unreliable, citing how Gov Ron DeSantis of Florida faded before the 2024 race despite post-midterm strength.
