Rudolph W. Giuliani says Vice President J.D. Vance has a shot at taking President Trump’s place in 2028, but the former New York mayor has issues with the veep’s tendencies.
Speaking on his YouTube channel Thursday, the former Trump lawyer said about Mr. Vance, “I see presidential potential with you. … I also see certain dangers in your personality that make you a dangerous possibility as president.”
After the GOP suffered huge losses in Tuesday’s midterms, Mr. Vance said much of the blame lies with the Iran war.

Mr. Giuliani didn’t like that Mr. Vance seemingly wanted to throw in the towel on Iran over the election losses.
“It’s making me very, very nervous that a country is burning effigies of you and your president and your two envoys,” Mr. Giuliani said of the Islamic regime, “threatening to kill them, not just episodically, but they’ve been threatening to kill them and all their predecessors for 48 years. And because we lost an election, you want to cave in.”
A Pew Research Center poll on Oct. 8 said 44% of those polled “strongly disapprove” of Mr. Trump’s handling of the war, while 20% “somewhat disapprove.”
