Overview

  • President Trump said he views Vice President J.D. Vance as the “most likely” MAGA heir and floated the idea of a Vance-Rubio ticket in 2028.
  • On Fox News, Vance called talk of a White House run “way too early” and said he and Marco Rubio “laughed at the whole thing.”
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised Vance’s performance and said he hopes the vice president intends to seek the nomination.
  • Early CPAC polling and market odds place Vance ahead of other Republican prospects, though party insiders caution that early indicators are volatile.
  • Senator Bernie Sanders dismissed the GOP succession debate as irrelevant to working-class voters and downplayed its importance for Democrats.
