Vice President JD Vance will assume the role of finance chairman for the Republican National Committee—an unconventional move for a sitting vice president, but one that also places a top ally of President Trump within the party’s campaign wing ahead of the 2026 midterms.

ROKK Co-Founder Ron Bonjean spoke with NPR about how this new role will position Vance for a 2028 presidential run and whether it will help Republicans in the 2026 midterms.

As change and chaos grips our politics, and business leaders try to find their footing, the desire to take bold action can be tempting. Activity is satisfying. It’s catharsis. It gives you a sense of control when things feel turbulent—“at least we’re doing something.” Big actions also produce a flurry of deliverables that help calm anxious principals, outside groups, and C-suite executives. Action is perceived as strength, inaction is weakness.

Annie Clark, Senior Vice President, shared her insights from years of tough battles on Capitol Hill and the campaign trail on how principals, C-suite executives, and business leaders can focus on the fundamentals with PRNEWS.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s (D-Mich.) speech late Tuesday was a bright spot for Democrats in a night that saw the party criticized for its chaotic response to President Trump’s address to Congress.

Ron Bonjean and Kristen Hawn offered their perspective from both sides of the aisle and how effective Democrats were in delivering their message at Trump’s speech to a joint Congress in The Hill.
