Two unsettling reasons people believe JD Vance could replace Donald Trump by the end of 2025

Could Donald Trump Lose the Presidency by Year’s End?

Speculation swirls that Donald Trump may not finish his second term as president. Since January, Trump’s tenure has sparked controversy—from his “Big, Beautiful Bill” and public fallout with Elon Musk to his links with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and a tense White House meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Epstein Controversy Still Haunts Trump

Trump’s alleged ties to Epstein remain a major problem. His administration’s selective release of Epstein files fueled public distrust. In an attempt to quell critics, Trump urged the Justice Department on July 19 to release all grand jury testimony related to Epstein—pending court approval. He posted on Truth Social:
“I have asked the Justice Department to release all Grand Jury testimony with respect to Jeffrey Epstein… But nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics… It will always be more, more, more. MAGA!”

Signs Pointing to a Trump Replacement?

Despite these efforts, some analysts predict Epstein-related scandals could topple Trump. They suggest Ohio Senator JD Vance might replace him by the end of 2025. TikTok commentator Josh Greene recently shared his take in a viral video with over 275,000 views, noting:
“Trump’s popularity is plummeting right now.”
Greene added, “Vance is removed from the Epstein saga—at least to some degree.”

Trump’s Health Also a Concern

Trump’s health could also play a role. Recently diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition where leg veins don’t function properly, experts worry about his physical fitness. Greene bluntly said, “He is not in good shape.”
