JD Vance might have his sights set on succeeding Donald Trump. The 41-year-old vice president has repeatedly been asked whether or not he intends to run for president in 2028, and he recently shared an update.
Below, find out Vance’s intentions on possibly running his own presidential campaign in 2028.
Trump has not directly stated whether or not he wants to see Vance succeed him, but he affirmed that his VP is the “most likely” candidate to do so. In August 2025, a reporter asked Trump if he foresaw Vance as the “heir apparent to MAGA,” to which the Republican president responded, “It’s too early, obviously, to talk about it. But certainly he’s doing a great job, and he would be probably favored at this point,” per CBS News.

Vance has not announced a definite presidential campaign for 2028. However, he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in November 2025 that he plans to “sit down with the president” and “talk to him about” the possibility at some point, though he and the Republican Party are currently focused on the midterm elections.
“I would say that I’ve thought about what that moment might look like after the midterm elections, sure, but I also, whenever I think about that, I try to put it out of my head and remind myself the American people elected me to do a job right now. And my job is to do it,” Vance pointed out to Hannity.
The VP added that distracting oneself at “what comes next” could make a person “worse at the job [they] have” and emphasized he wants his party to win the midterms “because if the Democrats get in power, they’re going to try to screw up a lot of the great things the president of the United States has done over the past 10 months”
“So, we’re gonna win the midterms, we’re gonna do everything we can to win the midterms,” Vance continued, adding, “After that, I’m going to sit down with the president of the United States and talk to him about it. If we do a good job, the politics will take care of itself. If we do a terrible job, the politics will take care of itself in the other direction, so I’m just going to focus on the job that I have.”
Vance has been married to his wife, Usha Vance, since 2014. The spouses met while in college at Yale.
Yes, Vance and his wife share children Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel together.
Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer actually traveled to Brazil for a few days last week. He attended a few events for Prince William’s Earthshot Prize, and then both men traveled to Belem for the first two days of the COP30 conference. PM Starmer was back in England in time to attend the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday night. It’s widely believed that Starmer and William traveled back to the UK together, but William still skipped the Festival of Remembrance. Lazy, lazy, lazy. Well, according to Kensington Palace, William and Starmer have a great relationship, and William is whinging to Starmer about how the government needs to “do more” on the environment. There isn’t an eyeroll big enough. Some highlights from Roya Nikkhah’s big post-Earthshot clean-up, with some exclusive info about next year’s Earthshot Prize ceremony.
Big Boy Billy takes on big business: The Prince of Wales has criticised big businesses for “falling short” and lacking “courage” in their attempts to tackle climate change. Prince William, who spent five days last week in Brazil for his Earthshot prize awards and the Cop30 climate conference, is deeply frustrated by the private sector’s apathy on the environment.
William raised concerns, bless his heart: A royal source said: “During his visit to Brazil, the Prince of Wales raised his concern about the lack of meaningful support from global businesses in tackling the climate crisis when he met with the prime minister and the secretary of state for energy security and net zero. He believes that major companies are still not doing nearly enough. He wants to see bold leadership in the private sector and, honestly, many businesses are still reluctant to get involved. Even when some are making genuine progress, they’re rarely talking about it. There are positives, companies such as Ikea, Uber and [the food giant] Compass Group are showing real leadership and deserve credit, investing in Earthshot prize finalists. But far too many others are still falling short and it’s time for more of them to step up to the plate.”
William & Starmer: The prince has developed a “warm relationship” with Starmer, the first prime minister to attend William’s environmental awards since they began in 2021, and urged the government to encourage more action from the private sector on green issues.
Next year’s Earthshot will go to India: William plans to take next year’s Earthshot prize to India, in a sign of his determination to engage with the world’s biggest polluters. India, the most populous nation in the world with more than 1.4 billion people, is the world’s third-biggest polluter after China and America. The country is responsible for about 8 per cent of global carbon emissions, with coal as its primary power source, but has set a goal of reducing emissions by 50 per cent by 2030 and for the economy to be net zero by 2070. Neither Narendra Modi, the Indian prime minister, nor President Xi of China attended the Cop30 leaders’ conference last week.
Willy will go to China too: A royal source said: “This is about bringing people on the journey. We always said we’d like to take Earthshot to every corner of the planet. There are so many interesting things happening in India in the sector and the prince is looking forward to seeing it.” The Sunday Times has also revealed that William wants to take the prize to China in the next five years, despite the UK’s strained relations with the world’s biggest polluter, in marked contrast to his father’s approach. The King has never visited mainland China because of his views on the regime’s treatment of Tibet and its human rights record. William, however, is said to believe that you “can’t exclude a big chunk of the planet when thinking about fighting for its future”. Sources close to William said he had a “renewed sense of purpose” about taking the prize to China.
I actually forgot that Charles has never stepped foot in China. That’s a bit crazy, especially considering how well-traveled he was as Prince of Wales. As for William’s plan to go to India next year… lol. He is really going to march into India and try to lecture and bully the whole country, meanwhile India has become a thriving economic powerhouse and vibrant democracy with no need for an ugly white savior, especially one from a member of a supposed royal family which looted many of India’s treasures. William should arrive in India with the Kohinoor diamond in hand before he lectures anyone on the environment. As for all of the stuff about Basher Billy lecturing businesses about the environment – he just comes across as so deeply unlikeable, unaccomplished and pitiful.

Months ago, we learned that Kim Kardashian had completed her “law studies” course. Not to be confused with actual law school – Kim does not have a JD (Juris Doctor) degree, she has what amounts to a certificate of completion for her makeshift law studies. Still, that certificate was enough to get her a place to take the California Bar Exam, which she did about two months ago. She just got the results back in recent days. She did not pass. Which isn’t a huge surprise, considering Kim was literally just talking about how she used ChatGPT for “legal advice” on her law exams.
Kim Kardashian says she’s “not a lawyer yet.” Months after taking the California bar exam on July 29 and July 30, the SKIMS founder and reality star, 45, revealed her results on Saturday, Nov. 8.
In a candid Instagram Stories post, Kim shared that she failed to pass the exam — but is still determined to achieve her goal.
“Well…I’m not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV,” she wrote. “Six years into this law journey, and I’m still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up – just more studying and even more determination.”
“Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far. Failing short isn’t failure – it’s fuel. I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivated me even more. Let’s go!” she added.
Given just twice per year, the California bar exam consists of five one-hour essay questions, one 90-minute performance test and 200 multiple-choice questions.
According to the California State Bar’s website, approximately 16,000 people take the exam each year. The two-day test is rigorous, with a pass rate of 63.6% for those who took the exam in February.
For some reason, I always had the belief that the California Bar was “easier” compared to some other states’ bar exams. Isn’t New York’s Bar notoriously difficult? Let me look it up… while New York’s Bar exam is supposed to be really tough, California actually has the hardest exam, at least according to Google. So… Kim flunked a hard test after cheating and using AI on some of her law-studies tests. It is what it is. The only nice thing I’ll say is that it’s good that she’s not dissuaded – she’ll probably keep retaking the Bar until she passes. Study harder next time, Kim!

A new Disney+ original documentary, Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth, aims to correct the narrative about the late TV presenter, amid an investigation from her mother Christine, who sets out to find the truth about her daughter’s final days.
In fact, this documentary is part of a story that Caroline wanted the public to hear and had initiated plans to work on in the days before her death and after her arrest.
The former Love Island host took her own life in 2020, aged 40, weeks before she was due to face trial on assault charges, to which she pleaded not guilty.
The alleged victim, her boyfriend Lewis Burton, did not support prosecution.
The coverage of the presenter’s departure from Love Island and her legal issues were widely criticised following her death.
In the two-parter, now available to watch on Disney+, voice notes from the late star are featured throughout, and in one particular recording, she can be heard telling one of her friends she was thinking about making a documentary about her ordeal: “I had an idea like, sorry, I know you’re in a shower, I think I should make a documentary about all of this. What do you think?”
Flack’s friend Mollie opened up about the days leading up to Flack’s death, saying she felt as though the TV presenter was “getting stronger”.
“I could tell that she was getting stronger because she was talking about doing a documentary,” she explained. “She was saying, ‘I just really want to get out, like, what’s happened and my side of everything.’ And so it felt like she was turning a corner and, you know, we felt that actually the case was going to be dropped.”
Dov Freedman, the CEO and founder of Curious Films, the production company behind the documentary, shared that Caroline was “adamant about wanting to set the record straight and combat the lies that were being told about her”.
He shared that he, along with his business partner Charlie Russell, had met with Caroline and her agents “to see if we all got on and what the doc could look like”.
“Caroline spoke candidly about why she wanted to make a film and the real story she wanted the world to know, and also how hard it was watching the stories spread knowing they weren’t accurate,” he said.
He continued: “She also spoke very lovingly about her family, especially her mum, Chris [Christine], and suggested we start filming a few days later in Norfolk. The meeting went well, and we were green lit a few hours later, suddenly, that doc never happened, as the devastating news of Caroline’s death hit the world just a few days later.
“We didn’t know if Christine knew that Caroline was about to embark on a project with us, but we just felt compelled to write to her and send our condolences so we couldn’t imagine the pain her and the family must be going through.”
Christine agreed to take part in this new documentary as she felt like she needed a bigger platform to find the answers she was looking for.
“[This is] the story that Caroline wanted to make when we met her over five years ago and says everything that she wanted to say.”
Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth airs on Monday 10th November on Disney+. You can sign up to Disney+ from £5.99 a month now.

The BBC is planning to apologize after being accused of selectively editing Donald Trump‘s January 6 speech to make it appear as if the president was encouraging the 2021 Capitol riot.
On Monday, chair Samir Shah will write to UK Parliament’s Culture, Media and Sport Committee to admit that a 2024 BBC Panorama film should not have altered Trump’s speech in the way it did. The change was attacked as “dishonest” by the White House.
Shah is expected to tell lawmakers that the BBC has reviewed the Trump edit again in light of audience complaints in recent days, Deadline understands. Shah is expected to acknowledge that Panorama could have been clearer that Trump’s speech was changed, but he will say there was no intention to mislead viewers.
The Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph first reported on Shah’s planned apology, which comes after a week of headlines about the Trump edit and the BBC’s reporting on Gaza and transgender rights.
The concerns originated in an excoriating leaked memo attacking BBC News output. Obtained by The Daily Telegraph, the document was penned by Michael Prescott, who was an external adviser to the BBC board’s Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee until June.
Lisa Nandy, the UK culture secretary, became the latest voice of disapproval. Appearing on BBC show Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Nandy said the edit was “incredibly serious.”
Nandy said she had held “too many” conversations with BBC leaders over the past year regarding editorial standards. The Labour minister said she was confident Shah and BBC director general Tim Davie were gripping the Trump matter, but she questioned why issues keep occurring.
“What tends to happen at the BBC is that decisions about editorial standards, editorial guidelines, the sort of language that is used in reporting, is entirely inconsistent,” she said. “It doesn’t always meet the highest standards. It’s not always well thought through, and often it’s left to individual journalists or news readers to make decisions.”
The Trump edit, which was made in October Films-produced Trump: A Second Chance?, prompted fury in the White House, though the president himself has yet to publicly remark on the issue.
Karoline Leavitt
Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary, told the Telegraph newspaper: “This purposefully dishonest, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100% fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom.”
Shah’s apology will be the first time a senior BBC figure speaks out on the issue, though Deadline revealed that BBC News CEO Deborah Turness emailed staff admitting it had been a “difficult” week.
The incident is awkward for Shah, Davie, and Turness because they sit on the Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee, where Prescott originally raised his concerns months ago. They did not consider the matter serious enough to correct the Panorama documentary, meaning three of the corporation’s most senior figures are complicit in the inaction.
In the Panorama documentary, Trump appears to say: “We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be there with you and we fight. We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore.”
He actually said: “We’re gonna walk down, and I’ll be there with you, we’re gonna walk down, we’re gonna walk down any one you want but I think right here, we’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and we’re gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen.”
Some 54 minutes later, when Trump was talking about the U.S. election being “corrupt,” he said: “Something’s wrong here, something’s really wrong, can’t have happened, and we fight. We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore.”
Nick Robinson, the seasoned presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Today show, referenced the story live on-air on Saturday, telling listeners: “It’s clear that there is a genuine concern about editorial standards and mistakes. There is also a political campaign by people who want to destroy the organisation … Both things are happening at the same time.”
Party season is upon us—and so too is the influx of outfit conundrums it brings. Allow Dress Code to demystify and debunk what to wear when and where, and how to wear it, as advised by those whose innate style never fails to inspire and influence.
Kaia Gerber is not immune to the sinking feeling of pulling up to a party and second guessing your look. The supermodel and actress—who’s back in the spotlight as the face of Mango’s Craft Your Own Story concept and party collection—might be a regular on the world’s most prominent red carpets, but her approach to putting an outfit together is as relatable as it gets. A fan of an easily-replicated formula as much as she is loyal to failsafe closet staples and time-honored silhouettes, here’s her sage advice for getting party-ready in a pinch.
Vogue: When you want to feel confident, what boxes does your outfit need to tick?
I feel the most confident when I go back to the safe bets, and for me, that is always wearing black. If all else fails, I’ll just put a black suit on.
What dress code fills you with dread, and what’s your workaround for that?
I typically hate black tie, it stresses me out. My workaround is having brands or designers who have impeccable taste that I can lean on to help. In a fitting before an event, I typically go towards the classic silhouettes: anything from the ‘90s or ‘60s.
What about a themed dress code? Are you creative when it comes to costumes?
I grew up in a family that went all out for Halloween and I usually didn’t get to choose my own Halloween costume because it was always a family costume. So now I love costume parties, dressing up, and being creative—but I don’t go quite as hard as I used to. I try to figure out a costume that I can make with what I already have and one that doesn’t require hair and makeup.
What’s a dinner party outfit you like to rinse and repeat?
Apart from a black suit, I’ve been gravitating towards black mini dresses with tights and a pump lately. You can’t go wrong with that. I also love dressing in dichotomies, so I will pair a black tuxedo with hoop earrings and a more feminine shoe, or something lacy underneath.

Heidi Klum Reveals How Long It Took to Transform Into Medusa for Halloween Party 2025 (Exclusive)
Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei’s wedding plans are still budding.
After getting engaged during season 28 of The Bachelor in 2024, Kelsey revealed the couple are still ironing out the details of their special day.
“We’re in the early stages,” she told E! News at Heidi Klum’s Halloween Party at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City Oct. 31. “But we’re super excited about it.”
And while the 27-year-old confirmed she hasn’t picked out a dress yet, it’s all part of the plan. After all, her goals for 2026, she revealed, consist of mostly “further wedding planning.”
But while her white dress might still be a question mark, Kelsey had the perfect yellow gown supplied by friend and designer Kate Barton, who wore a blue Cinderella-inspired gown alongside Kelsey’s Belle look.
As for where Joey was during Heidi’s epic bash? Kelsey shared he was home “recovering up” before running the New York City Marathon on Nov. 2.
But never fear: The duo still got in the Halloween spirit while picking up Joey’s marathon bib earlier in the day.
Ranbir Kapoor is all set to bring back a very special part of his family history. According to reports, the actor is working on reviving the iconic RK Studios, originally built by his grandfather, the legendary filmmaker Raj Kapoor. This effort is not just about starting a business again — it is an emotional tribute to his family’s legacy and their deep connection to Indian cinema.
Ranbir reportedly plans to produce new films under the revived banner, keeping the classic RK spirit alive while adding a modern touch. Several scripts have already been shortlisted, and production is expected to begin soon. The new RK Studios may also include office spaces and a screening room, aiming to become a creative hub for filmmakers in Mumbai. This move also fulfils the dream of Ranbir’s late father, Rishi Kapoor, who had always hoped to see the studio flourish once again.
Along with Ranbir’s first directorial project, the studio is expected to back multiple films featuring top Bollywood talents. There are also plans for collaborations with Deepika Padukone and director Ayan Mukerji, making this revival even more promising.
RK Studios holds a special place in Indian film history. Established in 1948 by Raj Kapoor, it gave the industry classics like Barsaat, Awaara, Mera Naam Joker, Bobby, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Prem Rog, and Ram Teri Ganga Maili. These films shaped Bollywood’s golden era and made RK Studios a symbol of cinematic excellence.
The last film under the RK banner was Aa Ab Laut Chalen in 1999, directed by Rishi Kapoor. Over the years, as the industry shifted to Mumbai’s suburbs, the studio saw a decline. In 2017, a massive fire destroyed precious memorabilia, forcing the Kapoor family to eventually sell the property.
With Ranbir’s heartfelt effort, a new chapter is about to begin honouring the past while creating a bright future for RK Studios.

Popular Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias is all set to return to India after 13 years for a performance, and he is planning to make some time for a little sightseeing as well as explore historical sights, including a trip to the Taj Mahal in Agra.
We have learnt that Enrique Iglesias is planning to extend his trip in India and explore the culture more. He is also planning to go to Agra and visit the Taj Mahal.
“He regrets not seeing the Taj Mahal during his last trip and is now eager to immerse himself in the beauty of this historic site,” said a source in the know-how.
“Enrique Iglesias enjoys exploring the culture of every city he performs in, as demonstrated by his visits in the past,” shared the source, adding that it is the reason why the singer has planned to extend his trip in India and head to Agra after his gigs in Mumbai.
Enrique Iglesias, the hitmaker of popular songs like Rhythm Divine and Bailamos, will be performing in India after a gap of 13 years. The Spanish singer-songwriter will perform at a concert on October 30 at MMRDA Grounds in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex. He will also have another show on October 29 at the same venue.
“I’ve missed performing in India; the fans there are some of the most loyal and passionate in the world. Since my first show back in 2004, the love has always been unreal. I can’t wait to get back to Mumbai and bring them this new show,” he said in a statement at the time of the announcement.
The 50-year-old singer previously visited India in 2012 for a tour, where he covered three cities — Delhi, Pune and Bangalore.
