US VP Vance

US President Donald Trump thinks the two Republicans most likely to jockey to succeed him would make an unbeatable ticket if they run together, he told an interviewer Wednesday.

Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are both widely seen as strong contenders to run for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination — and as rivals.

“I like them both. I like them together,” Trump said on the New York Post podcast “Pod Force One,” adding: “I don’t know how you beat them if they’re together.”
