NewsNation political contributor Chris Cillizza said during a Thursday live stream on his YouTube channel that Vice President JD Vance is a formidable potential 2028 presidential candidate whom Democrats underestimate \u201cat their own peril.\u201d<\/p>\n

An Emerson College poll published Thursday showed Vance with a 46 percent favorability rating, leading several prominent Republicans and Democrats, including potential 2028 contenders.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the poll on X, Cillizza said the numbers reinforced his belief that Democrats fail to grasp \u201cVance\u2019s appeal,\u201d a point he reiterated during his live stream.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pretty bullish on JD Vance,\u201d Cillizza said. \u201cI think Democrats underestimate JD Vance at their own peril, which I think they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cillizza also said earlier in the broadcast that he believes Donald Trump Jr. is the only Republican who could potentially defeat Vance for the 2028 GOP nomination.<\/p>\n

However, Cillizza added that he does not expect the president\u2019s son to run against Vance, noting that the two are friends.<\/p>\n

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said in August that Vance appeared to be in a strong position to secure the Republican presidential nomination in 2028.<\/p>\n

Enten cited Vance\u2019s large advantage in early polling and the historical success rate of sitting vice presidents when seeking their party\u2019s nomination.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, this is early polling, but look, for the GOP nomination, it\u2019s JD Vance at 40 percent,\u201d Enten said. \u201cThere\u2019s no one even close to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
