Trump Predicts JD Vance as Likely 2028 Presidential Candidate

The MAGA movement's and thus the Republicans' presidential candidate in the US election 2028 will be with "great probability" Vice President JD Vance. At least if you ask his boss Donald Trump.

He does a fantastic job and he would probably have an advantage, the president replies to a question about the vice president's chances in the next election.

I think that would be most likely.

Trump also hinted that it would be a good idea for JD Vance to team up with Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and thus create a "formidable" Republican alternative, according to media. It was not immediately clear whether he meant that Rubio should become the vice presidential candidate.

Trump, who is the figurehead of the Maga movement, emphasized, however, that it is too early to talk about the 2028 election. He has previously hinted that he may consider running for a third term, despite the US Constitution clearly stipulating that a president may only serve two four-year terms.

In the Trump campaign's webshop, t-shirts with the texts "Trump 2028" and "Rewrite the rules" are sold, notes AP. 79-year-old Trump said, however, the other day to the TV channel CNBC that he "probably will not" run in the presidential election again.
