Kyodo News quoted the “Washington Post” report on August 7 as saying that US President Trump recently stated in a private meeting that he hoped Vice President Vance would win the 2028 presidential election. The newspaper reports that about two weeks ago, Trump met with supporters in the White House Oval Office, during which time he said, “We want Vance to be elected in the end.” According to people close to Trump, although he has decided in his heart that he supports Vance as the Republican presidential candidate, it is still too early to judge when Vance will announce his candidacy or when Trump will publicly endorse it. On August 6, Trump told reporters that Vance is an “outstanding person,” but he denied the relevant reports, saying “it is too early” to make an official statement.
