Trump Backs Vance-Rubio 2028 Ticket as 'Unbeatable' in Podcast

2 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Jun 3

Trump said on the Pod Force One podcast that a JD Vance-Marco Rubio presidential ticket in 2028 would be “very hard to beat,” praising how well the two men work together.
The remark adds to succession chatter around two leading Republican contenders even as both Vance and Rubio have publicly played down their 2028 ambitions.
Rubio’s recent White House briefing-room appearance helped fuel that speculation, winning praise from Republicans and some Democrats for a polished performance that included jokes and a 1990s hip-hop reference on Iran talks.
The comments show Trump continuing to shape the early 2028 Republican field more than two years before the next presidential campaign fully begins.
