Michael Goodwin: Vance’s baffling statements on Israel & Epstein should disqualify him from 2028 GOP ticket

JD Vance's recent comments about Israel and his endorsement of conspiracy theories involving Jeffrey Epstein have raised serious concerns about his judgment and fitness for the GOP ticket in 2028. These remarks have alienated many who supported him during his campaign, where he focused on securing Midwest swing states. The controversy underscores broader questions about the GOP's direction and the kind of leadership it's willing to promote, especially among its base. Vance's statements could undermine his credibility and influence within the party.
