According to multiple sources, Trump has been frequently asking his advisers recently who would be more suitable as his successor between Vance and Rubio. Although he asked casually, the frequency of his questions has increased. As Trump's last midterm election approaches, he is focusing on his political legacy, and he believes there is no better successor than Vance and Rubio. Trump prefers Vance, which was also the reason he chose Vance as his running mate, but he keeps praising Rubio both publicly and privately. Trump likes gossip and enjoys having people compete with each other, and he freely expresses his personal opinions, so we should not interpret his praise for Rubio as a sign that he does not support Vance. Vance has his own team of political advisors, and if he runs as expected, he will become a key contender in the 2028 presidential race. In contrast, Rubio lacks this infrastructure, and he has clearly stated his support for Vance's presidential campaign. Trump will not fully endorse any successor, as he wants the team to focus on their current tasks, while also not wanting to appear powerless.
