Trump says Vance and Rubio teaming up for 2028 run would be unbeatable

June 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said in a podcast interview aired on Wednesday that ​Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of ‌State Rubio, teaming up for a 2028 presidential run, would be unbeatable.

Both men are seen as contenders for the 2028 Republican nomination, ​and Rubio's recent turn at the White House podium ​drew praise from Republicans and even some Democrats who ⁠noted his smooth performance, which included quips and ​a 1990s hip-hop reference to describe Iran's negotiating position.

"I would ​think that JD and Marco as a team would be very hard to beat," Trump told Miranda Devine in a podcast aired ​on Wednesday. "It's interesting, human thing, the human equation. So ​I watch them together, they get along great," he added.

Trump ‌has ⁠continued to fuel the succession talk even as both Vance and Rubio downplay their 2028 ambitions.

The war was over, gas prices will come down, yada, yada, yada.

I think the majority of Americans have had it with Trump, Trumpism, and Trump collaborators who have been permanently stained by him. They’ll never get the stench off themselves.

Rubio has the qualities and experience to be a strong candidate, but he would probably be put up as the VP and, most importantly, he has stood by and supported Trump through all the atrocities and absurdities. He owns the Trump legacy and that will be devastating. Imagine political ads showing him standing next to Trump - straight faced - while Trump spouts something idiotic, cruel, or vengeful, or simply falls asleep.
