 DC Daily Journal: ... A recent J.L. Partners poll positions Vice President JD Vance as the frontrunner for the 2028 Republican presidential primary, far outpacing other potential contenders. Conducted May 13-14, the survey highlights Vance’s dominance amid a crowded field of Trump allies and former rivals, signaling his rising influence within the GOP. The J.L.
