Vance is the clear frontrunner among Republicans — The Guardian
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has emerged as the leading conservative contender for the upcoming presidential election.
This was reported by The Guardian, citing poll results from the CPAC-2026 conference in Texas, where he received 53% support.
Marco Rubio came in second with 35%—his approval rating has risen sharply over the past year.
In effect, a new leadership has already emerged within the Republican Party, which is seen as a continuation of Donald Trump’s agenda.
At the same time, tensions are rising within the MAGA movement. Some supporters oppose active U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts, particularly in the Middle East.
A telling sign was the departure from the movement and resignation of Marjorie Taylor Greene, who criticized the party’s policies.
This signals a shift in the Republicans’ course—a hardening of foreign policy amid the risk of internal division.
U.S. President Donald Trump committed a serious breach of all existing protocols. He made a derogatory remark about Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, stating that the prince was forced to “kiss ass” due to the war in the Middle East.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated at an investment forum in Miami that China deserves universal respect, regardless of one’s personal attitude toward the country. This position is significant in the context of international relations and the global economy.
