Washington (US), 6 Aug. (LaPresse) – Donald Trump recently confided privately to a number of donors that he would like to see JD Vance win the 2028 presidential election. This is reported by the Washington Post, which highlights that this is a sign of the president’s willingness to publicly back his deputy, although some advisers warn that Trump has not yet definitively chosen his successor. “At the end of the day, we have to elect JD,” Trump reportedly said during a meeting with donors in the Oval Office about two weeks ago, according to two people familiar with the matter. This private remark, the Post notes, contrasts with the rhetoric adopted by Trump over the past year, during which he has publicly encouraged a sort of competition between Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, openly suggesting that the two would make an excellent electoral pairing, whilst repeatedly avoiding specifying whom he would prefer to see leading the ticket.
