President Trump has said Vice President JD Vance is probably the favorite to succeed him on the 2028 GOP ticket, but lately he also has been talking up a trusted adviser, Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that Vice President JD Vance is “most likely” the heir apparent to the Make America Great Again movement, the furthest he’s gone in backing Vance as a future presidential candidate.

Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Trump on Tuesday if his vice president is “the heir apparent to MAGA,” and the president suggested that he would be a top contender. He also said that there are other potential candidates, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
