How Vance plays

Vance's path runs through consolidation — locking down the populist lane before rivals can split it, then defending it through the debates. Do it early and you set the terms of the race; hesitate and you're fighting for the same voters as everyone else while the calendar runs out.

Scenarios where Vance appears

• 2028 — a new-generation Republican field against Ron DeSantis, Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump.

What you'll manage

A finite budget across the primary calendar, state targeting, debate answers that move voter blocs, and a bench of advisors who won't always agree. Contests are decided on plurality — the most votes wins the state.
