By Nick Pope | Daily Caller Vice President J.D. Vance is taking over as the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) finance chair, a new role that GOP strategists and pundits say bolsters his position as the clear frontrunner to represent the party as its nominee in the 2028 presidential race.

By Todd C. Frankel | The Washington Post Former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley said Sunday that she no longer feels bound by the earlier pledge made by her and other presidential hopefuls to support the GOP’s eventual nominee — widely expected to be former president Donald Trump.

Haley acknowledged in an interview on NBC’s “Meet The Press” that the pledge was a requirement but added that the party has changed since then. “The RNC is now not the same RNC,” she said.
