Trump: Vance and Rubio 2028 run would be unbeatable

US President Donald Trump said in a podcast interview aired on Wednesday that ​Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of ‌State Rubio, teaming up for a 2028 presidential run, would be unbeatable.

Both men are seen as contenders for the 2028 Republican nomination, ​and Rubio’s recent turn at the White House podium ​drew praise from Republicans and even some Democrats who ⁠noted his smooth performance, which included quips and ​a 1990s hip-hop reference to describe Iran’s negotiating position.

“I would ​think that JD and Marco as a team would be very hard to beat,” Trump told Miranda Devine in a podcast aired ​on Wednesday. “It’s interesting, human thing, the human equation. So ​I watch them together, they get along great,” he added.

Trump ‌has ⁠continued to fuel the succession talk even as both Vance and Rubio downplay their 2028 ambitions.

Vance and Rubio have taken turns to take the stage at White ​House briefings to ​defend the ⁠Trump administration against a wide range of questions including the increasingly unpopular Iran war.

​No one has formally entered the race ​for the ⁠November 2028 vote, but maneuvering has begun. Democratic contenders are already jockeying for a 2028 presidential run, signaling an ⁠open ​race with no clear party standard-bearer ​in the fight to succeed Republican President Donald Trump. (Reuters)
