Vance says Trump’s stock trades are managed by advisers, not by the president

VP JD Vance defended Trump amid questions about hundreds of millions in stock trades shown in the 2026 disclosures, saying the president doesn’t trade personally and that independent wealth advisers manage his investments; the White House and Trump Organization emphasize a trust/third-party management with no conflicts, and Vance reiterated support for banning congressional stock trading.

California Sees Medicaid Withholding as Political Retaliation

California officials condemned the White House’s withholding of roughly $1.3 billion in Medicaid reimbursements as political retaliation, while Vice President JD Vance and CMS Administrator Oz cited fraud flags in the state’s Medicaid records. Democrats warned the move harms patients and providers and signaled potential legal challenges, as Newsom highlighted in-home care programs’ savings and GOP criticisms of federal funding cuts. The action follows a recent anti-fraud crackdown in Los Angeles on hospice and home-health facilities.

Trump administration withholds $1.3B in California Medicaid amid fraud crackdown

The Trump administration will withhold $1.3 billion in federal Medicaid payments to California, citing the state’s inadequate anti‑fraud efforts. Vice President JD Vance announced audits of state Medicaid fraud control units and warned funds could be lost, part of a broader push against fraud in public health programs that has already included halting $259 million in Minnesota funds and a six‑month moratorium on new hospice providers as CMS investigates the industry.

Vance Plays It Cool on 2028 Speculation, Joking About an Apprentice-Style Ticket

Vice President JD Vance downplayed Trump’s chatter about a 2028 GOP ticket with him and Rubio, joking that a televised 'apprentice' contest isn’t appropriate. He’s focused on his current duties, while Rubio remains a high-profile ally and has said he wouldn’t run against Vance. Trump has reportedly polled advisers on top contenders and even floated a Vance–Rubio dream ticket, while Vance has been building fundraising support as GOP finance chair.

A May 2026 AtlasIntel survey of 2,069 adults finds Marco Rubio leading the 2028 Republican nomination race with 45.4% of GOP respondents, ahead of JD Vance at 29.6% and DeSantis at 11.2%, with roughly 10% opting for other/unspecified choices. Vance remains underwater in favorability, Rubio holds a positive image, and the piece notes Trump jokingly floated a Rubio–Vance ticket while pundits weighed Vance’s viability.

Vance’s 2028 bid rides on Trump’s shadow in Iowa

Vice President JD Vance’s 2028 prospects are tightly bound to Donald Trump’s political standing. In his first Iowa trip as VP, Vance touts Trump-era economic moves while Iowa Republicans say his fate hinges on whether Trump’s agenda can deliver for them, even as Trump’s overall approval on the economy remains mixed. GOP insiders warn Vance must eventually forge an independent path beyond the former president, as Rubio and other contenders loom in a crowded 2028 field.

Rubio Lands Vatican Meeting, Leaving Vance Out of Papal Schedule

Rubio Lands Vatican Meeting, Leaving Vance Out of Papal Schedule

Marco Rubio is slated for a Vatican audience with Pope Leo XIV, a move that sidelines J.D. Vance. Reuters cites a Vatican source saying the secretary of state will travel to Italy to meet the pope on Thursday; Rubio and Vance had met the pope together in 2025, but the pope reportedly declined Vance’s invitation to visit the White House. The development underscores intra-MAGA maneuvering ahead of 2028, with Trump floating both as potential successors, making Rubio’s Vatican engagement more than a courtesy.

Trump faces manifesto questions as WHCD shooting shocks Washington

Gunfire interrupted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington as investigators say 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen fired at security; Allen reportedly sent an anti‑Trump manifesto to family beforehand. President Trump publicly criticized CBS News for quoting the manifesto, while urging unity as authorities treat the incident as politically motivated. The suspect is in custody and faces charges as the event is halted and rescheduled.

GOP’s Just War Defense of Iran War Falls Short, Experts Say

Republican leaders JD Vance and Mike Johnson invoked just war theory to justify the Iran conflict, but theologians, philosophers and military ethicists say the war fails all standard criteria of jus ad bellum and jus in bello—there’s no clearly defined just cause or competent authority, preventive arguments are debatable, and the fighting has raised concerns about proportionality and civilian harm, underscoring expert skepticism about the justification.

Uncertainty Mounts as U.S.-Iran Peace Talks Pause Ahead of Ceasefire End

As a two-week U.S.-Iran cease-fire nears expiration, talks appear paused after Tehran did not respond to American proposals and Vice President JD Vance's trip to Pakistan was put on hold. Iran has not decided whether to resume negotiations, while the U.S. maintains pressure through a naval blockade and ongoing threats of military action. The standoff has pushed oil prices toward $100 a barrel and raised concerns about shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, with negotiations centering on enrichment and the fate of Iran’s stockpile, leaving the outcome uncertain.

Trump’s Public Confusion Deepens Over Vance, Iran Talks, and Gas Prices

The Daily Beast chronicles a day of mixed messages from 79-year-old President Donald Trump as he contradicted himself on JD Vance’s role in Iran peace talks—first saying Vance wouldn’t join, then noting he was in the air, then later seeing Vance’s motorcade at the White House—highlighting chaos around the Iran conflict. He also rejected Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s prediction that gas prices wouldn’t fall below $3 until 2027, insisting prices would drop “as soon as” the war ends, a claim set against reports of him screaming at aides. The piece frames this as signs of confusion at the White House amid a volatile war and slipping public support.
