Vice President JD Vance Named RNC Finance Chair in Historic Appointment

Vance becomes the first sitting vice president to hold the role, focusing on GOP fundraising for 2026 midterms and positioning for potential 2028 presidential run.

The RNC Executive Committee unanimously appointed Vice President JD Vance as its finance chair, marking the first time a sitting vice president has held this position.
Vance's primary objective in this role is to lead fundraising efforts to secure and expand Republican majorities in Congress during the 2026 midterm elections.
The appointment strengthens ties between the Trump administration and the RNC, with Vance seen as a key figure in advancing the 'MAGA mandate.'
While some Republican strategists express caution about fully endorsing Vance for the 2028 presidential race, he is already viewed by many as a frontrunner and Trump's potential successor.
The new role provides Vance with increased access to Republican donors, bolstering his political influence and potential future candidacy.
