Trump Stokes a Vance-Rubio Competition
- President Donald Trump assigned significant responsibilities to JD Vance and Marco Rubio and publicly identified them as possible contenders for his position in 2025, signaling a potential rivalry during a meeting in the Oval Office.
- This move follows both men shifting from critics to close allies of Trump, reflecting their current alignment on policy and rising influence within his administration.
- Rubio is managing four significant positions simultaneously—chief diplomat, presidential security chief, federal records overseer, and leader of the international development agency—raising expert doubts about whether handling this extensive responsibility is practical or effective.
- Joel Rubin, who previously held a senior position at the State Department, expressed skepticism about Rubio managing multiple roles, stating it was unrealistic, while Trump praised Rubio and Vance as "fantastic."
- Their prominence positions Vance and Rubio as leading contenders for the GOP nomination in 2028, highlighting divergent paths for the party’s future after Trump’s presidency.
