(DCNF)—NewsNation political contributor Chris Cillizza said during a Thursday live stream on his YouTube channel that he thinks Vice President JD Vance is a formidable potential 2028 presidential candidate, whom “Democrats underestimate at their own peril.”

An Emerson poll published on Thursday found Vance leading over several prominent Republicans and Democrats — including potential 2028 contenders — with a 46% favorability rating. Reacting to the poll on X, Cillizza wrote that the numbers reinforced his view that Democrats fail to grasp “Vance’s appeal,” a point he reiterated during his YouTube channel live stream.

“I’m pretty bullish on JD Vance,” Cillizza said on his live stream. “I think Democrats underestimate JD Vance at their own peril, which I think they’re doing.”

Cillizza also said earlier in the broadcast that he believed Donald Trump Jr. was the sole Republican who could potentially defeat Vance for the 2028 GOP nomination, though he added that he did not expect the president’s son to campaign against the vice president, with whom he is friends.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said in August that Vance seemed to be in a strong position to secure the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, citing his significant advantage in early polling and the historic success of sitting vice presidents when seeking their party’s nomination.

“Look, this is early polling, but look, for the GOP nomination, it’s JD Vance at 40%,” Enten said. “There’s no one even close to him. [Republican Florida Gov] Ron DeSantis back at single digits at eight. Donald Trump Jr. back at 7%.”

“[K]eep in mind that early favorites have actually gone on to win the nomination 63% of the time — those who have run since 1980,” he said.

President Donald Trump said during an August White House ceremony that Vance was “probably favored” to carry the Make America Great Again [MAGA] mantle in 2028. He said Secretary of State Marco Rubio was “also somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form.”

Rubio told Vanity Fair in an interview published Tuesday that if Vance runs in 2028, “he’s going to be our nominee, and I’ll be one of the first people to support him.” The secretary of state asserted on Fox News’ “My View with Lara Trump” in July that “JD Vance would be a great nominee” if he were to seek the presidency.

Political analyst Mark Halperin also predicted on Fox News’ “Special Report” in May that Vance and Rubio could lead the ticket.

“I really do think JD Vance and Marco Rubio could end up being a preordained ticket in 2028 unlike we’ve ever seen before,” he said.

Moreover, Vance held a one-point lead over Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom in an October Emerson College hypothetical poll of the 2028 presidential race.

Preparing for the Unexpected: Your Essential Partner in Health Readiness

In an increasingly unpredictable world—where supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, and global travel can leave us vulnerable to sudden health challenges—being prepared isn’t just smart; it’s essential.

That’s where Jase Medical steps in, offering innovative solutions that empower individuals and families to take control of their health with emergency medication kits designed for real-life scenarios. As someone who’s always advocated for proactive wellness, I was impressed by how Jase Medical combines expert medical guidance with convenient, customizable options to ensure you’re never caught off guard.

At the heart of their offerings is the Jase Case, a comprehensive emergency antibiotic kit priced at just $289.95. This powerhouse contains five life-saving antibiotics and five vital symptom-relief medications, capable of treating over 50 common infections—from respiratory issues and skin conditions to traveler’s diarrhea and more.

What sets it apart? It’s fully customizable with 28 add-on options, including a specialized KidCase for children ages 2-11, making it ideal for families.

Whether you’re stocking up for home emergencies or preparing for remote adventures, the Jase Case provides peace of mind with medications that boast extended shelf lives—up to five years or longer when stored properly, with studies showing 90% potency retention even after 20 years.

For those on the move, the Jase Go travel med kit at $129.95 is a game-changer. Curated by physicians, it addresses over 30 common travel ailments, from digestive upsets to minor injuries, ensuring explorers, hikers, and globetrotters can handle health hiccups without derailing their plans.

And for targeted concerns, Jase Medical offers specialized kits like the UTI Kit ($99.95), which includes test strips and treatments for urinary tract infections, vaginal candidiasis, and even jock itch, or the Parasites Kit (starting at $199.95), featuring compounded Ivermectin and Mebendazole to combat internal and external parasitic infections.

But Jase Medical isn’t just about one-off kits; their Jase Daily service provides an extended supply of your ongoing prescriptions, supporting hundreds of medications for chronic conditions like diabetes, heart health, high blood pressure, mental health, and more. This ensures long-term preparedness, safeguarding against factory shutdowns or extreme weather that could interrupt your regular supply.

The process couldn’t be simpler or more reassuring. Start by customizing your order online, then benefit from a thorough review by a team of world-class physicians who ensure safety and accuracy. In most cases, prescriptions are issued after a quick consultation—sometimes just a call to clarify allergies or needs—and your kit arrives discreetly at your door. While they don’t accept traditional health insurance, many customers use HSA cards, and refills are available for added convenience.

What truly stands out is the real-world impact. As radio host Glenn Beck puts it, “The supply lines for antibiotics already are stressed to the max. Please have some antibiotics on hand… You can do it through Jase.”

One satisfied customer shared, “It could have been a nightmare. Instead, the best trip we’ve had,” after their kit turned a potential health crisis into a minor blip during a family vacation.
