In February, Trump began informally discussing with advisers who should lead the Republican Party in the 2028 presidential election, according to multiple people familiar with the conversations, Axios claimed.

Trump has been posing a recurring question to confidants: whether Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be the better standard-bearer for the GOP after his presidency, the outlet said.

Vance, whom Trump selected as his running mate, remains the president’s favored choice, according to the sources. He also has a political infrastructure in place that could form the basis of a 2028 campaign. Rubio, by contrast, has not made similar preparations and has indicated he would support Vance if the vice president runs.
