Donald Trump allegedly told donors in a closed-door meeting that he wanted to support JD Vance’s candidacy in the 2028 US presidential election.
At the meeting in the Oval Office, held about two weeks ago, Trump allegedly said, "At the end of the day, we need to make sure the people choose JD."
Trump reportedly has not decided between Vance and Rubio
A person close to Trump claimed that the former president viewed Vance as the Republican Party’s future leader. The same person said Trump had not yet decided when to announce Vance’s candidacy or when to publicly declare his support for him.
Some advisers close to Trump also maintained that no final choice had been made between JD Vance and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for the 2028 election.
