Looking At The future : US President Donald Trump Bats For Vice President J D Vance As Heir To Take His MAGA Movement
Trump, who assumed office over six months ago, said that it is “too early” to talk about successors, but Vance is certainly “doing a great job, and he would be probably favourite at this point,” CNN reported.
President Donald Trump has suggested that Vice President J D Vance is “most likely” the heir apparent to his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio can also join him in “some form”.
“Well, I think most likely. In all fairness, he’s the vice president,” Trump said on Tuesday while answering a question on his “heir apparent” to MAGA.
According to PTI, Trump, who assumed office over six months ago, said that it is “too early” to talk about successors, but Vance is certainly “doing a great job, and he would be probably favourite at this point,” CNN reported.
However, Trump was quick to add that Rubio can also “get together with JD in some form.”
Trump had earlier declined to offer any endorsement for a 2028 successor.
Trump said in February that Vance was “very capable” but that it was too early to name him as the leading candidate, the report added.
