Trump Hints at Vance as Heir to MAGA Movement
President Trump has suggested Vice President JD Vance as the 'most likely' successor to his MAGA movement, while also indicating that Secretary of State Marco Rubio could join in 'some form.' Although both are considered key figures in Trump's administration, endorsements for a 2028 successor remain premature.

In a recent development, President Donald Trump has hinted that Vice President JD Vance is 'most likely' to be his successor in leading the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. Trump, however, also pointed towards Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a potential key player in 'some form.'
During a Tuesday briefing, Trump stated, 'Well, I think most likely. In all fairness, he's the vice president,' suggesting Vance's favorable position for succession. Despite these remarks, Trump emphasized that it is still 'too early' to determine a definite heir, though he praised Vance's performance.
Meanwhile, Rubio has publicly downplayed any presidential aspirations, concentrating on his current role. Nonetheless, he remains open to future possibilities. The relationship between Vance and Rubio continues to be cooperative, both working in tandem to advance Trump's policies.
