Trump named Vance and Rubio as his possible successors

US Vice President Jay Dee Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio could become potential successors to American leader Donald Trump as head of state. On April 11, Trump said this at a dinner in the Rose Garden of the White House in honor of the week of police officers.

He noted that both officials would make a "dream team." However, he did not elaborate on anything and develop this idea further.

"Sounds great for a newsletter: JD and Marco. Ideal candidates. By the way, I believe that this is a dream team, but there are small details," he said.

Who among the loyal entourage should the US president be afraid of

The Politico newspaper reported on April 24 that the White House is seriously considering US Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a potential candidate for the presidential elections to be held in 2028. It is clarified that after the unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign, the politician was considered too belligerent and conservative. However, his efforts to remove former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from power and his "unwavering loyalty" to Trump have strengthened his position both in the White House and among some supporters of the MAGA movement.
