美国副总统JD·万斯承认，他可能不会在2028年参加总统竞选，理由是家庭因素以及妻子对政治生活的顾虑。随着11月中期选举临近，民调显示，公众对特朗普总统政府的不满情绪广泛存在。
US Vice President JD Vance has acknowledged that he may not run for president in 2028, citing family considerations and his wife's reservations about political life, as polls indicate widespread dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump's administration ahead of the November midterm elections.
万斯在10月17日星期六由CBS新闻主持的市政厅会议上表示，他可能不会寻求共和党提名以接替特朗普。“当然有可能，”当被问及他是否可能参选时，万斯说。“我们有四个小孩，我妻子从未热爱政治。她热爱公共服务。”
Speaking at a town hall hosted by CBS News on Saturday, October 17, Vance said there was a possibility he would not seek the Republican nomination to succeed Trump.“Of course there's a chance,” Vance said when asked whether he might run. “We've got four little kids, my wife has never loved politics. She loves public service.”
副总统表示，他将在中期选举之后再考虑自己的政治前景，并形容自己是一个倾向于推迟重大决定的人。“我对生活的看法，重大人生决定——我妻子会告诉你这一点：我是个拖延症患者。我讨厌思考这些问题，”万斯说，并补充称，他在做决定前必须先评估自己的选择。
The vice president said he would wait until after the midterm elections to consider his political future, describing himself as someone who tends to postpone major decisions.“The way that I think about life, big life decisions — my wife will tell you this: I’m a procrastinator. I hate thinking about it,” Vance said, adding that he would have to assess his options before making a decision.

民主党希望在两院均取得显著进展，这可能会使政府的立法议程变得复杂。共和党目前在参议院拥有53个席位，而民主党为47个。在即将进行选举的35个参议院席位中，22个由共和党占据。民主党需要净增四个席位才能获得多数，因为万斯将在50比50的参议院中投下决定性的一票。万斯仍是潜在的共和党领军人物尽管他最近的言论如此，万斯被视为2028年共和党总统提名的领先潜在竞争者之一，佛罗里达州参议员马可·卢比奥也在被讨论的名单之列。
Democrats are hoping to make significant gains in both chambers, potentially complicating the administration's legislative agenda. Republicans currently hold 53 seats in the Senate, compared with 47 for Democrats. Of the 35 Senate seats up for election, 22 are held by Republicans. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to secure a majority, as Vance would cast the tie-breaking vote in a 50-50 Senate. Vance remains a potential Republican frontrunnerDespite his latest remarks, Vance is considered a leading potential contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, with Florida Senator Marco Rubio also among the names being discussed.
万斯多次拒绝承诺参选，称他的当务之急是帮助共和党在中期选举中取胜。10月1日，他在接受NBC新闻采访时似乎批评了另一位潜在竞争者、参议员泰德·克鲁兹。“在我看来，此刻泰德·克鲁兹显然正在参加总统竞选，”万斯说。“而此刻，我并没有。我正在努力帮助共和党当选。”克鲁兹的参议员任期将持续到2030年，他一直在关键州进行竞选活动，为共和党在选举前筹集资金。
Vance has repeatedly declined to commit to a campaign, saying his immediate priority is helping Republicans in the midterms. On October 1, he appeared to criticize Senator Ted Cruz, another potential contender, during an interview with NBC News.“It is really obvious to me that, at this very moment, Ted Cruz is running for president,” Vance said. “At this moment, I’m not. I’m trying to help elect Republicans.”Cruz, whose Senate term runs through 2030, has campaigned in key states to raise funds for Republicans ahead of the elections.
