Trump suggests Marco Rubio and JD Vance as a possible 2028 ticket
Donald Trump told associates that a Marco Rubio and JD Vance pairing would be a "dream team" for a 2028 Republican ticket. Marco Rubio is a U.S. senator from Florida and former presidential candidate, and JD Vance is a U.S. senator from Ohio whose 2028 chances have dropped in a recent Newsweek poll. Rubio would bring Senate experience and establishment credibility while Vance would deliver populist conservative appeal, a combination that would reshape GOP messaging and primary dynamics even as Vance's slipping poll numbers reduce the ticket's near-term plausibility.
Trump: "Who likes JD Vance? Who likes Marco Rubio? Alright. Sounds like a good ticket. By the way, I do believe that's a dream team. I think it sounds like presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate."
Please let that be the ticket
The two least likable men ever
Ain't ever gonna happen for either of them.
Sounds like two out of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, but OK
That’s the dream team, if the dream is a nightmare.
Please dear god run the terminally juiceless duo of JD Vance and Marco Rubio
Even he can't help but laugh at that ticket.
Does he have dentures or something he sounds like he is slurring and slurping. 🤣😂 Dream ticket - I don't think so. More like the ticket from hell.
Trying to make fetch happen
Listen to what Marco said about Trump before he won the nomination.
Oh god help us all.
No one likes JD Vance
definitely run that ticket, i can’t wait to see what a success it’ll be
He's setting them up! He's actually going to make sure that Jr. or Eric succeeds him.
Notice he didn't say which is which.
Excellent, he should ABSOLUTELY push that. Fucking hilarious.
How much did thiel and elon give him to promote JD?
Nobody likes JD Vance or Marco Rubio.
his plan is to do what Putin did. "permit" a loyalist to run, who will let him still be president from Mar a Lago, even if someone else has the title.
“What if JD mistakes Marco for a couch?”
Is this the first time he's ever really hinted at someone taking his place at some point?
Who likes syphilis? Who likes gonorrhea? All right, sounds like a good ticket! By the way, I do believe that's a dream team as I have them myself.
I’m skeptical either would win a primary. They’re too bland for the MAGA base, especially Rubio. I still see Don Jr as a darkhorse. Loud, crude, obnoxious and can carry on the dynasty.
Pitting them against each other.
Like Donnie isn't going to destroy both of them before 2028.
Sounds like two guys who would get their asses kicked in 2028.
Starting to think that Vance’s best bet for 2028 is to resign after the midterm elections. Trump would likely pick Rubio to replace Vance, which would saddle Rubio with Trump’s baggage. Probably not enough to get Vance a victory in ’28—but could well offer a better chance than otherwise.
Better yet: He should resign in ~Sept., citing his inability to stand by Trump has he leads the US into another unwinnable war, governs like a tin-pot autocrat, & presides over the destruction of the GOP. It's risky, but it's more likely to be rewarded than if he stayed on through the midterms.
You think he gets approved by Congress? If the Dems win wouldn’t they just say “fuck off, if you die, Jeffries will be president”
