AI Summary
Vice President JD Vance won the 2028 presidential straw poll at CPAC, the influential annual gathering of conservative activists and Republican Party figures. The result signals early backing among the party's grassroots conservative wing as 2028 presidential speculation intensifies. Vance's victory positions him as a leading contender within the Republican base ahead of the next election cycle.
