A new Republican group with ties to Vice President JD Vance launched on Monday, in an initiative aimed at flipping congressional seats red in the 2028 elections.

American Ascent, run by former Heritage Foundation chief of staff Ryan Neuhaus, is not affiliated with Vance, who is a likely 2028 presidential contender. But it is partnering with Turning Point Action, which has endorsed Vance ahead of a possible White House bid, and the Claremont Institute, a prominent think tank that awarded the vice president its statesmanship award last year, according to Politico.
