New Actor: Trump Suggests Vance-Rubio 2028 Ticket

At a White House Rose Garden dinner Monday evening, President Donald Trump turned the room into an impromptu poll. He asked, “Who likes JD Vance? Who likes Marco Rubio?” He said it sounded like a good ticket and a “dream team,” calling it “presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate.”

Pressed about it the next day at a White House press conference on anti-fraud efforts, Vice President JD Vance tried to cool the talk. He joked that the president is not staging a televised contest to pick his “apprentice,” praised Rubio as a close friend, and said both are focused on governing. He added that voters would hate seeing someone barely a year and a half into a job angling for a promotion two and a half years away, referring to himself.
