President Donald Trump has given his strongest endorsement yet on who in the Republican Party may replace him once his second White House term ends.
Speaking Tuesday with reporters, Trump said Vice President JD Vance will most likely succeed him, with some possible teamwork from Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
I think most likely, in all fairness, hes the vice president, Trump said of Vance when asked about him becoming the heir apparent to MAGA.
I think Marco is also somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form. I also think that we have incredible people, some of the people on the stage right here. So its too early, obviously, to talk about it, but certainly hes doing a great job, and he would be probably favored at this point.
Trumps soft endorsement of Vance comes roughly six months after he declined to give Vance his blessings when directly asked by Fox News. Speaking with Bret Baier in February, Trump called Vance very capable but said its too early.

Once the con is gone this movement is done, in my opinion.

(20,943 posts)JD is going to get chewed up and spat out.
He hasn't the stamina to be as mean and soulless as TACO Don. That's unless JD is willing to leave the Catholic Church and defy Christ's teachings. The Pope and Vatican will crucify him(pun intended) before the world-wide Catholic community. That includes Catholics and Christians here in the United States.
