As Donald Trump gets his second and final term in the White House underway, questions are arisinig over whether JD Vance will run for office in 2028. The US Constitution forbids a person from becoming president more than twice, despite Mr Trump's hints that he could change the law to run for a third term.

This is a very unlikely outcome. The more probable result will be the current VP running for the Republican nomination in three years. Mr Trump was previously asked whether his humber two could step up to the plate "on day one" after the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year.

Fox News host Harris Faulkner asked him: "When you look at JD Vance, is he ready on day one?", and she received quite a strange answer.

The president responded: "Historically, the vice president, in terms of the election, does not have any impact. I mean, virtually no impact. ... Virtually never has it mattered."

Mr Vance then publicly agreed with his boss's comments, saying it doesn't "matter that much" who the VP is.

He told ABC News: "They’re voting for Donald Trump or for Kamala Harris, not for JD or Tim Walz. I also think that he’s right that the politics of this really don’t matter that much."

The former Ohio senator assumed his role just two years after winning his first run for political office, making him the first millennial on a major party's presidential ticket and the third-youngest vice-president in history.

However, he used to be a fierce critic of Mr Trump, branding him a "cynical a**hole" and comparing him to Adolf Hitler.

He wrote on social media: "Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. Because of this I find him reprehensible. God wants better of us." And: "My God what an idiot."

He also wrote to an associate on Facebook in 2016: "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a**hole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler."

The VP has since clearly shifted his loyalties, admitting that he focused too much on Mr trump's "stylistic element" rather than his policies.

He told The New York Times last June: "I allowed myself to focus so much on the stylistic element of Trump that I completely ignored the way in which he substantively was offering something very different on foreign policy, on trade, on immigration."
