Rubio, Vance, and Trump Jr.: Who Could Be Trump's Successor 0 16

During a conversation with a journalist, Trump was asked who he thought could best continue his legacy of deal-making. Among the possible candidates mentioned were his son Donald Trump Jr., U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President J.D. Vance.

As the publication notes, at the moment of this question, Vance quietly entered the back of the room and heard the president's response.

Commenting on a potential successor, Trump emphasized the importance of making the right choice.

"Whoever gets this [position] will be very important," the president said.

This was reported by bb.lv, citing Fortune.

At the same time, he warned that a mistake in choosing the future leader could have serious consequences. "And if you get the wrong person: disaster," Trump added.

Recall that earlier Donald Trump did not rule out that his successor as President of the United States could be the current Vice President J.D. Vance.

According to the American leader, after the current term ends, he would like to pass power to a "strong Republican."

Recently, White House representative Sebastian Gorka stated that Trump left instructions for Vice President J.D. Vance in case something happens to him and Vance becomes his successor.

At the same time, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also did not rule out that J.D. Vance could be the Republican Party's candidate for the 2028 presidential election.

Donald Trump's statements have reignited the discussion about the future of the Republican Party after his presidential term ends. Amid talks of the 2028 election, increasing attention is being drawn to figures within Trump's circle who are seen as potential continuators of his political course.
