The US vice-president, JD Vance, was greeted by a chorus of boos when he appeared at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milan on Friday, although American viewers watching NBC's coverage would have been unaware of the reception. As speedskater Erin Jackson led Team USA into the San Siro stadium she was greeted by cheers. But when the TV cameras cut to Vance and his wife, Usha, there were boos, jeers and a smattering of applause from the crowd.

Vance is in Italy to lead the official US delegation at Friday's opening ceremony, joined by second lady Usha Vance, Rubio and billionaire Tilman Fertitta, the US ambassador to Italy and owner of the NBA's Houston Rockets. The group watched Thursday's game from the second and third rows at center ice behind the scorer's table alongside Olympic gold medal-winning hockey sisters Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson and Monique Lamoureux-Morando.

There are very few scenarios where J.D. Vance is not the Republican nominee for president in 2028. Donald Trump has flirted with illegally running for a third term, but he will be, at the time of the next election, 82 years old. He is very unpopular. While seizing the Republican nomination for a fourth consecutive time is not out of the realm of possibility for a politician as brazen and corrupt as he is, it is, at this point, highly unlikely.

Loomer wrote on X, adding: Trump doesn't like when the GOP focuses on abortion. How many times does he have to say this? Trump gets it. The GOP will blow the midterms. Vance apparently felt compelled to defend his decision to speak at the anti-abortion march, saying, The president literally sent a video to the March for Life today and encouraged me to accept their invitation, which I was happy to do.

Nine young men who voted for President Donald Trump in 2024 said they do not support Vice President J.D. Vance as the Republican nominee in 2028, according to a Politico report published Friday, with one voter expressing that he thinks it's time for someone new. The 18- to 24-year-olds took part in a Monday focus group run by communications firm Longwell Partners and shared with Politico, with all but one saying they would rather see another nominee and the lone holdout remaining unconvinced.

We did not have a lot of money, said JD Vance, placing hand on heart as he recalled his childhood in Middletown, Ohio in the 1990s. I was raised by a woman who struggled often to put food on the table and clothes on her back.

I think that we need to reject all forms of ethnic hatred, whether it's anti-Semitism, anti-Black hatred, anti-white hatred. And I think it's one of the great things about the conservative coalition is that we are, I think, fundamentally rooted in the Christian principles that founded the United States of America. And one of those very important principles is that you judge people as individuals. Every person is made in the image of God.

On Friday night, when Donald Trump met with a small group of senior Administration officials and decided to authorize a raid in Caracas by Delta Force commandos to capture Nicolás Maduro, those present included Secretary of State Marco Rubio; Secretary of War Pete Hegseth; the C.I.A. director, John Ratcliffe; Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Stephen Miller, the President's most essential policy adviser, omni-portfolio'd and grimly saturnine.

The president offered multiple off ramps, but was very clear throughout this process: the drug trafficking must stop, and the stolen oil must be returned to the United States. Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means what he says. Kudos to our brave special operators who pulled off a truly impressive operation, Vance continued before adding another post: And PSA for everyone saying this was illegal: Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas.

Enten began by telling anchor Sara Sidner, I will just note it is never, never too early to talk about this because these guys are running already, even if they haven't formally declared. They're already running, and JD Vance is running well ahead of the field. I mean, take a look here. Top chances to be the 2028 GOP press nominee, the prediction market odds.

The liberal governor said the Trump Administration was waging war against his state and the Somalis who live there because it is racist. This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit; this is what happens when they scapegoat, and this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy, Walz said. He continued, When you hear the vice president of the United States talk about Now white people won't have to apologize for being white.' That's never once happened in my whole damn life.

Speaking with Fox's Martha MacCallum, McEnany called Kirk's endorsement powerful before adding a word of caution for the party. I think it's very important that the Republican party have a competitive primary, she said. It makes you tougher. We see how much weaker, in my opinion, the left was by not having a primary [in 2024]. I hope we have that competitive primary, she stressed.

(AP Photo/Matt Rourke) Vice President JD Vance brushed off online scrutiny over a viral photo, both unverified and of uncertain origin, claiming to show him arguing with his wife Usha at a restaurant. The image, which depicts Vance in a white T-shirt and Usha with her head bowed and hand to her face, triggered a familiar rush among political antagonists keen to diagnose the state of the couple's marriage.
