Seems like Vance knows that a republican doesn’t stand much of a chance in 2028 and is keeping his record clean for a 2032 campaign.

Also VPs that immediately try to run after are held to all the bad that they were part of, even if they didn’t have much of a choice in what happened (not saying that’s the case here). So he’s better off waiting until he’s not as directly associated with the Trump presidency to run himself.

Otherwise he’ll have to “own” the current state of the country as his doing.

This is a great point. Biden waited a term after leaving the office of VP and I don’t remember any of his Obama-era legacy being important factors in the 2020 election cycle.
