An unexpected political fantasy has taken over the internet — "Vance–Sweeney 2028." The idea pairs US Vice President JD Vance with Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney on a fictional presidential ticket. What began as a joke from conservative commentator Michael Knowles quickly spiralled into a viral movement, flooding X with memes, posters, and mock slogans. The buzz grew after Sweeney's calm response to criticism over her "Great Jeans" advert, which MAGA influencers hailed as bold. While there's no real campaign or confirmation from either figure, the trend highlights how fast politics and pop culture now collide online — and how quickly fiction can feel real.
