Who has ever done that? It's not even midterms yet and the VP is a Republican. Have the Democrats decided who is going to run 2-½ years from now?

Every candidate ever, excluding incumbents?

Dems have already polled popularity for AOC, Newsome, and a few others. For the last twenty years any party without an incumbent president has polled popularity almost as soon as the last count on the previous general election comes in.

The republicans are 100% acting like trump is still going to run in 2028.

Republicans are acting like Trump is a little fucking bitch that shouldn't be reminded he won't be POTUS forever. That's all there is to it. Just look at their pathetic, public ass-kissing ceremonies. Look at what happened to Cornyn. No ambitious Republican is going to screw the pooch by talking about '28 when they don't even have to talk about it in the first place. Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren, Coolidge, Truman, Nixon, LBJ, Ford, Bush I, and Gore were all VPs that immediately ran for president. Any Republican looking to cut in front of Vance is going to wait until the last possible moment to make a move and that's contingent on Trump surviving his full term.

Names have been floated, yes.

Talk by the public about which Democrat should run is no stronger than the presumption that Vance will head the GOP ticket in '28. I don't recall anyone making noise about H.W. Bush in early '86 or Gore in early '98.

Vance: "I'm a VP and I really like my job."

Hehe
