Vice President JD Vance teases 2028 bid, says it won't be 'given' to him

Vice President JD Vance stopped short of confirming a 2028 White House run during an appearance on The View with Lara Trump Saturday night, but he acknowledged the possibility—noting if he does his job well, "the politics will figure itself out."
Vance, whose resilience amid an upbringing marked with family turmoil and economic hardship won over the nation, said he "doesn't like thinking about" a potential presidential bid and insisted his attention remains on his current role.
"If we do a good job in 2025 and 2026, then we can talk about the politics in 2027," Vance said. "I really think the American people are so fed up with folks who are already running for the next job, seven months into the current one."

The second-in-command added if he ends up running, he knows he will have to work for it.
"There are a lot of great people," Vance said. "If I do end up running, it's not going to be given to me—either on the Republican side or on the national side. I'm just going to keep on working hard. … [This] may be the most important job I ever had, outside of being a father to those three beautiful kids. So I'm going to try to do my best job, and I think if I do that, the politics will figure itself out."
When asked specifically about potential 2028 Democratic candidates, he noted most of them "obviously have very bad records."

Vance mainly focused on discussing his own ticket, praising President Donald Trump's relentless work ethic and trusting leadership style and explaining the president "doesn't have an off switch."
"Sometimes, the president will call you at 12:30 or 2 a.m., and then call you at 6 a.m. about a totally different topic," Vance said. "It's like, 'Mr. president, did you go to sleep last night.' … What's made this so much fun is the president, all the time, just saying, 'JD you go and do this,' or 'JD you go and talk to these leaders about this particular issue.' That ability to delegate and trust his people has been really amazing."

California woman facing felony charges for registering her dog to vote, casting 2 ballots

A California woman illegally registered her dog to vote and cast two ballots under the canine's name, according to officials.
Laura Lee Yourex, 62, of Costa Mesa, faces five felony charges, including perjury, procuring or offering a false or forged document to be filed, casting a ballot when not entitled to vote and registering a non-existent person to vote, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
Yourex submitted mail-in ballots under her dog's name, Maya Jean Yourex, during the 2021 gubernatorial recall election and the 2022 primary, the District Attorney's Office said.

The recall ballot was counted, but the primary ballot was rejected.
The woman reported herself in October of last year to the Orange County Registrar of Voter's Office, which reported her to the District Attorney's Office.
An investigation into the incident revealed she posted about her dog's voting activity on social media.
In January 2022, Yourex posted a photo of her dog wearing an "I Voted" sticker and posing with the ballot.

In October of last year, she posted a photo of the dog's collar and a mail-in ballot addressed to the animal, saying that Maya still received the ballot despite passing away.
"Maya is still getting her ballot," Yourex wrote.
Yourex faces a maximum sentence of six years in prison if convicted on all counts.

The District Attorney's Office did not reveal how Yourex cast the fraudulent votes or which party received the dog's votes.
To register to vote in California, an eligible voter must fill out a form with identifiable information, political preference and affirm their citizenship under the penalty of perjury.
Proof of residence or identification is not required for citizens to register to vote or cast a ballot in state elections, but proof of residence and registration is needed for first-time voters to cast a ballot in a federal election.
