Secretary of State calls Vance the “future of the Republican Party” as Trump administration rallies behind potential ticket.
By yourNEWS Media Newsroom
Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared he would be “one of the first people to support” Vice President JD Vance if he runs for president in 2028, calling him the inevitable Republican nominee.
“If JD Vance runs for president, he’s going to be our nominee, and I’ll be one of the first people to support him,” Rubio told Vanity Fair in an interview published Tuesday.
Trump’s “Unstoppable” Ticket Suggestion
In October, President Donald Trump floated the idea of a Vance-Rubio ticket, calling it “unstoppable.” “We have JD [Vance]—the vice president is great. Marco [Rubio]’s great. I’m not sure if anybody would run against those two,” Trump said.
Pushback Against Vanity Fair’s “Hit Piece”
Rubio’s remarks came in a two-part Vanity Fair series focused on White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, which administration officials dismissed as a “disingenuous hit piece.”
“The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history,” Wiles posted on X. She accused the outlet of omitting context to paint a “chaotic and negative narrative” about the administration.
Rubio defended Wiles, calling her “one of the main reasons why we have a team that works together to carry out the President’s promises.”
Vance also praised Wiles while campaigning in Pennsylvania, writing: “The President and the entire team love Susie because she is loyal and good at her job. An extremely rare combo in the halls of power.”
A United Front for 2028
The public endorsements signal a cohesive strategy for the 2028 election, with Trump allies rallying behind Vance as the future of the Republican Party. Rubio’s early backing underscores Vance’s growing influence and the administration’s focus on continuity after Trump’s term.
With approval ratings rising and policy wins mounting, the Vance-Rubio partnership could emerge as a formidable force in the next presidential race.
