Will RFK Jr. Run for President in 2028?

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.
