Vice President JD Vance, on Monday, revealed his mindset about a potential 2028 presidential run while dismissing rumors about a feud between him and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as President Donald Trump recently floated both men as potential successors.
Earlier this month, Trump said he was confident the MAGA movement could continue without him at the top, and mentioned the two top administration officials as possible future leaders.
“You look at Marco, you look at JD Vance, who’s fantastic,” the president told NBC’s “Meet The Press.” “You look at — I could name 10, 15, 20 people right now just sitting here.”
In an interview with NBC News in Rome during his trip to attend Pope Leo XIV’s inaugural Mass, Vance explained his mindset as it pertains to the upcoming presidential election, without specifically referencing Trump’s remarks.
“My attitude is, if I do end up running in 2028, I’m not entitled to it,” he said. “But I really think that Marco and I can get a lot done together over the next few years. That’s how I think about our friendship and our relationship. And I would be shocked if he thought about it any differently.”
