Vance Positions for 2028, Skips Iran War in Convention Speech

At the Republican convention, J.D. Vance delivered a speech in Dallas that ignored the ongoing Iran war and instead attacked Democrats as the 'party of hate,' positioning himself as the leading contender for the 2028 presidential nomination. The speech signals an attempt to claim the Trumpian legacy while distancing himself from Trump's shadow, though the omission of a major foreign policy issue may reflect strategic calculation or internal party tensions.
