Trump Asked Who Should Succeed Him. Here’s What He Said
On Sunday, President Donald Trump declined to commit to endorsing a 2028 Republican nominee during a CBS interview, suggesting he might remain neutral with a "tremendous bench" of candidates.
Vice President Vance publicly blamed the war with Iran for midterm losses four days after the election. Vance wrote that many 2024 Trump voters crossed to Democrats, while Trump told him to "write what you feel" regarding his analysis.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gained about 13 points on Kalshi as Vance slipped. Polymarket shows Vance at 32 percent, followed by Rubio at 21 percent and DeSantis at about 15 percent.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio remains a top contender, with Trump calling him "great" during their interview. Rubio has indicated he would defer to Vance if he runs, though markets give the Secretary a 55 percent chance of leaving the administration this year.
The Amendment bars Trump from a third term, leaving 2028 hopefuls to weigh his endorsement's value as an asset in primaries but potential liability in November. Trump's musing that he may be "better off not getting involved" keeps the field guessing.
Who will follow Donald Trump with the Republicans? The US President has now spoken in an interview about a possible successor in the presidential election in 2028. His vague response provides for discussions on the net.
