\u201cIf we do a good job in 2025 and 2026, then we can talk about the politics in 2027,\u201d Vance said. \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

\u2026 [This] may be the most important job I ever had, outside of being a father to those three beautiful kids. So I\u2019m going to try to do my best job, and I think if I do that, the politics will figure itself out,\u201d Vance said.

\u201d<\/p>\n

Vance mostly talked on his own ticket, praising President Donald Trump\u2019s hard work and trusted leadership style and saying that the president \u201cdoesn\u2019t have an off switch. \u201d<\/p>\n

The second-in-command said that if he does run, he knows he will have to work for it<\/p>\n

about a totally different topic,\u201d Vance said<\/h2>\n

Vance made headlines last week when he said President Trump is in \u201cincredibly good health\u201d but stressed he is prepared to assume leadership if necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president is in incredibly good health,\u201d Vance told the outlet. \u201cHe\u2019s got incredible energy. He\u2019s the last person making phone calls at night, and he\u2019s the first person who wakes up, and the first person making phone calls in the morning.<\/p>\n

And if, God forbid, there\u2019s a terrible tragedy, I can\u2019t think of better on the job training than what I\u2019ve gotten over the last 200 days,\u201d he added<\/h2>\n

The vice president was asked, given that he\u2019s \u201cone heartbeat away from the presidency\u201d and would be one of the youngest in U. S. history should he need to fulfill the role soon, if he was ready to be commander-in-chief.<\/p>\n

Yes, terrible tragedies happen,\u201d Vance responded. \u201cBut I feel very confident the president of the United States is in good shape, is going to serve out the remainder of his term, and do great things for the American people. \u201d<\/p>\n

Barbabella said tests revealed Trump had \u201cchronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition among people over 70.\u201d<\/h2>\n

In an interview with USA Today published Friday, Vance was asked about Trump\u2019s age; the president began his second term at 78 and turned 79 in June<\/p>\n

The White House released a memo last month from Sean Barbabella, the physician to the president, addressing mild swelling in his legs and photos that circulated showing bruising on Trump\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n

Regarding the bruising, Barbabella said it was \u201cconsistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin,\u201d a standard part of his cardiovascular prevention regimen.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, things can always happen<\/p>\n
