In a bold declaration on Monday, President Donald Trump proclaimed that a hypothetical 2028 ticket featuring Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be “unstoppable.” This confidently positions them as the frontrunners for the future of the Republican Party.
Speaking aboard Air Force One during his flight from Malaysia to Japan, Trump addressed questions about his own potential third term, sensibly sidestepping the constraints of the Twenty-second Amendment while asserting his enduring appeal. “I haven’t really thought about it,” he admitted, yet his confidence radiated with, “but I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had.”
Trump emphasized his unparalleled achievements on the world stage, claiming, “I just solved eight wars, and a ninth is coming.” His mention of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict further illustrates the global stakes involved, reaffirming his significance as a statesman.
He also touted a recent peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand, which he facilitated during his Asia trip, underscoring the effectiveness of his foreign policy. “We got a lot of good credit,” he asserted, acknowledging the crucial support from Malaysia’s leadership in this endeavor.
When questioned about the “very good people” he referred to for 2028, Trump pointed directly at Vance and Rubio. “JD, obviously, the vice president is great,” he said, with Rubio nodding in approval behind him. “I’m not sure if anybody would run against those two. I believe that.” Such statements not only bolster Vance and Rubio’s positions but also signify a solid future for conservative leadership.
“I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever,” Trump concluded, confidently casting a shadow over any potential challengers and reinforcing the idea that the conservative base is poised for greatness.
