Vice President JD Vance plans to avoid the ongoing MAGA civil war among podcasters over antisemitism, campaign coast to coast during the midterms, and stick close to President Donald Trump in preparation for an expected 2028 presidential run, according to an Axios article published during the 1:45 PM to 3:15 PM UTC window on December 28, 2025, as shared by @PollTracker2024 on X. Axios detailed Vance's strategy to steer clear of internal Republican divisions while positioning himself for future leadership, with the report emerging over the past 90 minutes. In a separate development, Rosie Rios, the Democrat-appointed chair of the America 250 Commission who has not been fired by President Trump, discussed her approach to leading celebrations for the United States' 250th birthday in 2026, according to a Politico article highlighted by @SophiaCai99 on X during the same reporting period. Politico noted Rios as a rare holdover from prior administrations continuing under Trump's leadership.
