US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Vice President JD Vance will be “most likely” his successor and Republican presidential candidate in the elections in 2028. According to the reports of Reuters and CNN, TASR reports this.
“I think this is most likely. It is of course too early to talk about it, but he certainly does a great job and would probably be a favorite,” The US President answered the journalistic question whether Vance would be the heir to the Trump’s Maga movement (let us make America great again). “With all justice, he is vice president,” continued.
At the same time, Trump suggested that Vance and Minister of Foreign Affairs Marco Rubio cooperate more. “I think Marco (Rubio) is also someone who might be connected with JD (Vance),” added Trump.
Reuters states that although the presidential elections are still far away, Trump has a significant impact in the Republican side and its candidate support can have significant consequences. In the past, the President has repeatedly refused to express his support to any possible successor. Trump said in February about Vance that Although he is “very capable”, it is still too early to call him the head of the Republican.
CNN recalls that Vance took up a significant position in Trump’s administration by serving as a key diplomat and chief representative for Trump’s domestic and foreign policy. Foreign Minister Rubio became an important character who is in charge of complex questions of foreign policy.
