Rep Brandon Gill Declares JD Vance as GOP’s Clear 2028 Front-Runner

At the RNC’s inaugural midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, Rep Brandon Gill endorsed Vice President JD Vance as the Republican Party’s clear front-runner for the 2028 presidential election. Gill commended Vance’s role in promoting the president’s domestic and foreign policies, including economic measures and border security. He stressed the importance of retaining a House majority and framing the upcoming election around mainstream Republican values rather than extreme positions.

Gill noted the high energy and engagement of Republican voters at the event and called for the party to honor its promises, pointing to President Donald Trump’s actions on border enforcement as an example. He concluded that the party’s future, in his view, points toward Vance’s candidacy.
