Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering a potential 2028 presidential bid, with President Donald Trump’s recent remark that the pair is ‘unstoppable’ sparking speculation about their possible collaboration.
During a recent appearance on the New York Post’s ‘Pod Force One with Miranda Devine,’ Vance acknowledged the possibility of a future ticket with Rubio, though he stressed that the timing is still premature. The conversation came after Trump, during a press briefing aboard Air Force One, praised the duo as a formidable combination. Vance revealed that he and Trump had discussed the idea during a lunch meeting several months ago, but emphasized that it remains a hypothetical at this stage. He also highlighted the importance of focusing on current responsibilities and addressing the nation’s challenges before considering political ambitions.
Despite the potential interest in a joint campaign, Vance dismissed concerns about any internal tension between himself and Rubio, calling the secretary of state his ‘best friend in the administration.’ He reiterated his commitment to performing his duties as vice president and working collaboratively with his colleagues to achieve the administration’s objectives. Vance also addressed the broader political landscape, noting that the current administration has made progress on several key issues, but emphasized that more work remains to be done, particularly in tackling the ‘affordability crisis’ left by the Biden administration.
The potential collaboration between Vance and Rubio could signal a significant shift in the political landscape ahead of the 2028 election, as both figures are seen as strong contenders within their respective parties. However, any formal announcement would likely depend on the outcomes of the current administration’s agenda and the evolving political climate. For now, the focus remains on ensuring that the administration continues to meet its objectives before contemplating future political opportunities.
