Washington: US President Donald Trump, who has started tariff wars across the world, has created a stir by announcing his successor within 6 months of his tenure. Trump has already declared his most trusted companion and US Vice President JD Vance as his MAGA successor. President Trump said that Vice President Vance is his ‘most likely’ MAGA successor.
Rubio could be Vance’s running mate
Donald Trump has hinted that Vice President J.D. Vance could be the “most likely” successor to his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio could also join him “in some capacity.” Though Trump, who took office six months ago, said it was “too early” to talk about successors, Vance was “certainly doing a very good job and he’s probably the favorite at this point.
Rubio could be a contender for vice president
Vance’s running mate could be US Secretary of State Rubio. He could join Vance as vice president. Trump said Rubio could also “join JD in some capacity.” Trump had previously ruled out any endorsement for a 2028 successor. In February, Trump said Vance was “very capable” but it was “too early” to name him as a leading candidate.
Will Vance be the next US President?
JD Vance is 40. He is a former Marine and a senator from Ohio from 2023 to 2025. He is playing a key role in the second term of the Trump administration. Rubio and Vance have competed for the vice president’s post, but now they are working closely to promote Trump’s policies. This is the first time the US President has hinted at Vance as a potential successor. Trump named both Vance and Rubio as potential successors in May, PTI reported citing Time.com.
