00:00U.S. President Donald Trump is staying neutral as speculation grows over potential Republican
00:05successes ahead of the 2028 presidential race. In an interview with NBC News, Trump praised
00:12Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as highly capable but made clear he
00:18is not taking sides or engaging in succession planning at this stage. He also reiterated
00:26earlier remarks suggesting that Vance and Rubio could, in theory, appear together on a future
00:32presidential ticket. The tension is intensifying with the Republican Party as senior figures position
00:38themselves for the next election cycle. Vance, a former senator from Ohio, has said he plans to
00:44discuss a possible 2028 run with Trump after the midterm elections this November. At the same time,
00:50party insiders continue to view Rubio as a potential contender. The former Florida senator
00:56unsuccessfully ran for the party's nomination in 2016. He has not ruled out another run in 2028.
