Trump Says He May Not Endorse in 2028 Republican Presidential Primary
Trump said he may stay out of the 2028 Republican primary and named Marco Rubio as a possible successor, with polling showing JD Vance leading.
- In a CBS '60 Minutes' interview airing Sunday, President Donald Trump said he may decline to endorse a candidate for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, naming Secretary of State Marco Rubio as 'great' but refusing to single out a successor.
- Although the Constitution and 22nd Amendment prohibit Trump from seeking a third term, he retains significant influence, stating he possesses a 'tremendous bench' of potential candidates while remaining undecided about his personal involvement.
- A recent New York Times/Sienna University poll indicates Vice President JD Vance leads the field with 33% support, followed by Rubio at 23% and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 3%, while Polymarket traders currently view Vance as the favorite.
- Potential 2028 contenders, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz and DeSantis, are already signaling their intentions to enter the race, navigating a primary environment where they cannot assume a centralized endorsement from the former president.
- Following Trump's suggestion that he may stay neutral, markets are recalibrating, with Polymarket data showing Vance with a 32 percent chance of winning the nomination, forcing contenders to build independent momentum rather than relying on an endorsement.
