President Trump just gave Republicans a major clue about where he thinks the future of the movement could go.
In a new Pod Force One interview with Miranda Devine, Trump floated the idea of Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio running together on the 2028 GOP ticket.
Trump left the top-of-ticket question unsettled.
The signal was still unmistakable: he thinks the pair would be very hard to beat.

That is not a formal announcement, and nobody should pretend it is.
It is still a major signal from the man whose endorsement will likely shape the entire 2028 Republican field.

President Donald Trump said in a podcast interview aired on Wednesday that Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, teaming up for a 2028 presidential run, would be unbeatable.
Both men are seen as contenders for the 2028 Republican nomination, and Rubio’s recent turn at the White House podium drew praise from Republicans and even some Democrats who noted his smooth performance, which included quips and a 1990s hip-hop reference to describe Iran’s negotiating position.
“I would think that JD and Marco as a team would be very hard to beat,” Trump told Miranda Devine in a podcast aired on Wednesday. “It’s interesting, human thing, the human equation. So I watch them together, they get along great,” he added.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that a potential 2028 Republican presidential ticket of Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be ” very unbeatable.”
Trump told the
New York Post’s
Miranda Devine on
Pod Force One
that he studies the relationship between his vice president and secretary of state.
“So I watch them together. They get along great. They have a good relationship. They’re sort of similar in a lot of ways, but they’re very talented,” he said. “I think the two of them running together as a team would be very unbeatable.”
Trump told Devine moments earlier that he has an affinity for both Vance and Rubio and they would make a dynamic duo.
“Well, I like them both, and I like them together. You know, it would be great. I don’t know how you beat them if they’re together; that would be a great team. JD and Marco would be a great team,” he said.
“They have to agree to it. We still have, you know, we have a long time left. We have more than two and a half years, substantially more than two and a half years,” he added.

The 2028 Republican race is Vance's to lose – and Rubio's to win | Opinion

The 2028 Republican primary already feels like a two-man race. Both Vice President
JD Vance
and Secretary of State
Marco Rubio
have strong claims to succeed President
Donald Trump
at the top of the ticket, and Trump himself has refused to play favorites.
Until recently, Rubio seemed the more likely of the two to sit out 2028. But in May, Rubio posted what looked unmistakably like
a campaign ad
to his X account – and the debate over which man is better suited to win has been live ever since.
Rubio is the stronger candidate for the 2028 general election, even though Vance has the more natural path to the presidential nomination. Republicans should give Rubio a shot if they want to win.

June 3 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said in a podcast interview aired on Wednesday that Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, teaming up for a 2028 presidential run, would be unbeatable.
Both men are seen as contenders for the 2028 Republican nomination, and Rubio’s recent turn at the White House podium drew praise from Republicans and even some Democrats who noted his smooth performance, which included quips and a 1990s hip-hop reference to describe Iran’s negotiating position.
“I would think that JD and Marco as a team would be very hard to beat,” Trump told Miranda Devine in a podcast aired on Wednesday. “It’s interesting, human thing, the human equation. So I watch them together, they get along great,” he added.
Trump has continued to fuel the succession talk even as both Vance and Rubio downplay their 2028 ambitions.
Vance and Rubio have taken turns to take the stage at White House briefings to defend the Trump administration against a wide range of questions including the increasingly unpopular Iran war.

President Donald Trump is once again promoting the idea of
Vice President J.D. Vance
and
Secretary of State Marco Rubio
running on a presidential ticket together in the 2028 election.
In an
interview
with The New York Post’s “Pod Force One” that was released on Wednesday, Trump said that the Republican party has “a lot of talent,” when asked about potential contenders for the 2028 presidential race. But he singled out Vance and Rubio, saying “they’re both great; I like them both. And I like them together.”
“They’re very talented,” Trump said. “And I think the two of them running together as a team would be very unbeatable.”
He also said, though, that “they have to agree to it” and that there was still “a long time left” before the 2028 election. He didn’t specify whether he would like Vance or Rubio to run for the Oval Office.

WASHINGTON –
JD Vance
was the first person Vicki Schwartz cast a ballot for in Ohio.
She had just moved to the state from California, where she taught public school. He was trying his hand at politics by running for the U.S. Senate after working for a San Francisco-based investment firm.
The 70-year-old suburban Columbus resident says she read Vance’s bestselling memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” and she's two chapters into
his new one.
Vance has impressed her. She gushed about his appearance this month
on "The View."
Still, she’s conflicted about who she'd vote for in 2028 if Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio both seek the Republican nomination to succeed President
