Trump alludes to staying president past second term
Donald Trump has declined to endorse a potential successor for the 2028 Republican presidential campaign, despite ongoing speculation around JD Vance and Marco Rubio.
JD Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio, intends to discuss a possible presidential bid with Trump following the November midterm elections.
Marco Rubio, a Florida senator, has not ruled out a 2028 campaign and has publicly praised Vance as a strong prospective candidate.
Trump indicated he would “be inclined” to endorse a successor, but suggested they should run together on the same ticket, describing both Vance and Rubio as “fantastic” and “very capable”.
Trump also appeared to entertain the idea of seeking an unconstitutional third term, remarking “I don’t know. It would be interesting” when asked about remaining president until January 2029.
