Vice President JD Vance discussed questions about his possible candidacy in the 2028 presidential elections during a town hall meeting released Saturday night. 

While talking with Tony Dokoupil of CBS News in Michigan, Vance was asked about the possibility of a presidential run in 2028.

"Of course there's a chance," Vance replied. 

Vance said that he tends to procrastinate when it comes to "big life decisions," and he hates thinking about it. However, he said, he will have to make a decision at some point. 

"But, you know, anything can happen, man, anything," Vance added. 

Vance is widely viewed as an early frontrunner in the Republican primaries on a list of potential 2028 GOP candidates that includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
