Trump Declines to Endorse JD Vance as 2028 Republican Nominee

The president praised his vice president as 'very capable' but stated it is too early to consider endorsing a successor for the next election.

President Donald Trump told Fox News that he does not currently see Vice President JD Vance as his successor for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination.
Trump described Vance as 'very capable' and praised his performance as vice president but emphasized it is too soon to make any endorsements.
JD Vance, the youngest vice president in modern U.S. history, is currently on his first international trip, attending an AI summit in Paris and the Munich Security Conference in Germany.
Vance is seen as a leading contender for the 2028 Republican nomination, with recent polls showing him as a top choice among GOP voters.
Trump’s comments come as he continues to hint at the possibility of a third term despite constitutional limitations, though he has publicly stated he would not seek to amend the 22nd Amendment.
