RNC chair excited about the bench of potential 2028 front-runners.

Vice President-elect JD Vance seems to be the likely successor to the America First movement and the Republican Party's MAGA base, as former president and now President-elect Donald Trump is unable to run for the White House in 2028.

Despite Vance being the likely frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination in the next race, the Republican National Committee will maintain its neutral stance during the open and competitive primary election.

Michael Whatley, RNC chair, stated in a Planet Chronicle Digital interview that "We will."

In the 2028 Republican presidential primaries, it will be challenging to remove Vance, who has Trump's support firmly in his grasp.

Donald Trump Jr. stated on the campaign trail in October that the country would have four more years of Trump followed by eight years of JD Vance.

The MAGA base adores the younger Trump, who is a strong ally of the vice president-elect.

No doubt, longtime Republican consultant Dave Carney recently stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that the vice president will be in the driver's seat.

Over the past four decades, Carney, a seasoned veteran of Republican presidential campaigns, stated that Vance is the strongest contender to defeat.

According to David Kochel, a longtime GOP strategist with extensive presidential campaign experience, Vance is currently leading the race due to the "immense" size and "enormous" scope of Trump's recent Electoral College and popular vote victories, as well as the "implied passing of the torch" from Trump.

Most people viewing the election results are focusing on the relative strength of Trump's victory and the movement, according to Kochel.

JD Vance will not be completely deferred to, as there will always be a contest.

A week after Trump asked him to continue as RNC chair, Whatley expressed excitement about the current Republican Party bench.

The president's cabinet will consist of Republican governors, senators, House members, and leaders from across the country who have been involved in the campaign.

The "America First movement" is larger than Donald Trump, according to Whatley. He is merely the tip of the spear and the vanguard of this movement. However, it is a very big movement at present.

On Thursday, the chairman highlighted that the Republican Party has been transformed by Donald Trump, who has made it the working-class party. The party now communicates and works with every voter, addressing their concerns. As a result, the party is well-positioned to maintain its momentum and continue its agenda in 2028.

In contrast to the Democratic National Committee, which disrupted the traditional presidential nominating schedule in the 2024 cycle, the RNC maintained the status quo and preserved the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary as their initial two contests.

Whatley stated that he had not engaged in any discussions with anyone on our side regarding the 2028 calendar. He acknowledged that the Democrats had proposed changes during the election cycle, but he was unsure if it had a significant impact on their success.

As we move towards 2028, we'll have those conversations about adjusting the calendar, but for now, we're comfortable with it as it is.
