Trump suggests Marco Rubio and JD Vance as a possible 2028 ticket

politicsMay 11, 202629572

Donald Trump told associates that a Marco Rubio and JD Vance pairing would be a "dream team" for a 2028 Republican ticket. Marco Rubio is a U.S. senator from Florida and former presidential candidate, and JD Vance is a U.S. senator from Ohio whose 2028 chances have dropped in a recent Newsweek poll. Rubio would bring Senate experience and establishment credibility while Vance would deliver populist conservative appeal, a combination that would reshape GOP messaging and primary dynamics even as Vance's slipping poll numbers reduce the ticket's near-term plausibility.

Trump: "Who likes JD Vance? Who likes Marco Rubio? Alright. Sounds like a good ticket. By the way, I do believe that's a dream team. I think it sounds like presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate."

Please let that be the ticket

Philo of Alexan55

The two least likable men ever

Dr. Alex Cooney, Ph.D.49

Ain't ever gonna happen for either of them.

Sounds like two out of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, but OK

That’s the dream team, if the dream is a nightmare.

Please dear god run the terminally juiceless duo of JD Vance and Marco Rubio

Derek Roessler10

Even he can't help but laugh at that ticket.

Does he have dentures or something he sounds like he is slurring and slurping. 🤣😂 Dream ticket - I don't think so. More like the ticket from hell.

Trying to make fetch happen

Listen to what Marco said about Trump before he won the nomination.

Paul Allen7

Oh god help us all.

Mike Bloom7

No one likes JD Vance

The Subsequent Mrs. de Winter6

He's setting them up! He's actually going to make sure that Jr. or Eric succeeds him.

Bensmom334

Notice he didn't say which is which.

SpacemanSpiff4

Excellent, he should ABSOLUTELY push that. Fucking hilarious.

Sherry Krauss4

How much did thiel and elon give him to promote JD?

Juju Bee3

Nobody likes JD Vance or Marco Rubio.

morey0003

his plan is to do what Putin did. "permit" a loyalist to run, who will let him still be president from Mar a Lago, even if someone else has the title.

“What if JD mistakes Marco for a couch?”

jbelf.bsky.social3

Is this the first time he's ever really hinted at someone taking his place at some point?

Baja Arizona. We fight on.3

Who likes syphilis? Who likes gonorrhea? All right, sounds like a good ticket! By the way, I do believe that's a dream team as I have them myself.

Stretch Cunningham2

I’m skeptical either would win a primary. They’re too bland for the MAGA base, especially Rubio. I still see Don Jr as a darkhorse. Loud, crude, obnoxious and can carry on the dynasty.

Rhon🌻✌️☮️📎🦋2

Pitting them against each other.

Liberal Ginger2

Like Donnie isn't going to destroy both of them before 2028.

Patric Reynolds2

Sounds like two guys who would get their asses kicked in 2028.
