Peter Thiel will give him his permission to resign as VP. Not with him getting this close to being in the position that Elon Musk was, having his puppet as president of the US with the dictatorial impunity that the Roberts Court gave Trump. Thiel will never be this close to that much power, ever again, and he's a psycopath with Musk sized dreams of world domination.
I don't think Vance would willingly give up his obviously excellent chance to be president once Trump croaks, which it's looking every day more likely he will before much more time has passed.
Whether or not Vance will run in 2028 is a more open question, it would depend on him grasping back some of he loss of support that has happened under the corruption and disasters that Trump II has brought to the Republican-fascists.
Me? I'm hoping Trump doesn't die. In my fantasy of fantasies he would survive the year, that a Democratic Congress with a super-majority of Democrats in the Senate, completing the impeachments that should have succeeded during Trump I and removing him from office in the utter shame and criminality that would serve the world, justice and American democracy the best. Then they could deal with Vance, who would probably pardon Trump, though he might be smart enough to understand that that was likely what cost Gerald Ford election to the presidency in 1976.
My greatest wish would be for Democrats in the house to replace their leader before that happens with someone who might be a better leader and a better third in line for the presidency. I'm not impressed with Jeffries, he's too much of a lawyer, too cautious, too establishment, too timid. I would be a lot more confident in Joe Neguse having that position.
