OP-ED: JD Vance loyalists are beginning to lay the groundwork for a 2028 presidential run without the help of Trump World.
Three top Vance aides have all recently taken jobs at powerful lobbying firms in Washington, D.C., Politico reported Monday. Sean Cooksey, the vice president’s former chief legal and policy adviser, decamped for BGR Group; Jim Durrey, a former deputy chief of staff for operations, is now at Invariant; and Wesam Hassanein, former special adviser on the Middle East, has left Vance’s office for Continental Strategy.
