Axios, a U.S. media outlet, reported today that Trump has recently been enthusiastically asking his advisers, "Who should be the presidential candidate in 2028, Vance or Rubio?" He tends to favor Vance, but he is increasingly praising Rubio. What is his dream combination? "Vance-Rubio, and let's be clear, it's Vance first." However, he also said that if their positions were switched, he would "completely" accept it.
Comment: Trump's move is essentially pre-selecting an heir apparent and stabilizing the party's internal structure. Publicly promoting Vance as the legitimate successor while bringing in Rubio as a vice presidential candidate serves to appease different factions within the party and firmly grasp the initiative for the 2028 election. In short, it's about who I designate will be on top, and the Republican Party must listen to me.
