Polls show JD Vance is far ahead of Marco Rubio in a hypothetical race for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination
Donald Trump is reportedly giving increasingly high marks to Vice President JD Vance, strengthening Vance’s chances of securing the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2028.
Vance has been in the spotlight throughout the year, promoting a new memoir about his faith, appearing frequently on TV and negotiating an end to the Iran war — all of which has reportedly caught Trump’s eye.
The president, who is said to have openly quizzed friends and associates about whether Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio should succeed him in office, has shifted his tone, insiders told Axios.
Trump is the party and the base is looking for someone with charisma, not another suit. If the field is so flat that Vance or Rubio could become party nominee, then the party is dead. Trump chose Vance because he didn’t want someone who would outshine him. Vance will only be President if Trump croaks.
Exactly. Wouldn’t surprise me if the magats will be clamouring for someone from the “royal family” to take over, instead of one of the soulless minions.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump Jr runs, on a platform of “I’ll do whatever my dad tells me”…
