Trump won’t commit to a 2028 endorsement, mentions Rubio as a possible successor

Asked about possible successors other than the vice president, Trump named Marco Rubio, calling him impressive and praising his performance. He also suggested Rubio may stay in his current role as secretary of state. Trump did not promise to back a particular Republican nominee. On whether he would intervene in choosing the 2028 nominee, he said he might or might not, adding that perhaps it would be better for him not to. Rubio is a name Trump spoke well of, not a chosen heir—and Trump hasn’t decided how much he’ll shape the race.
