Vice President JD Vance would be favored to secure the Republican nomination for president in 2028, President Donald Trump said Tuesday.

Axar.az informs, citing Fox news, Trump was at the South Court Auditorium where he signed an executive order to create a 2028 Los Angeles Olympics task force when senior Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked him if Vance was likely to become the face of the Make America Great Again movement after noting the president said he wouldn't be running for a third term.

"You could clear the entire Republican field right now," Doocy told Trump. "Do you agree that the heir-apparent to MAGA is JD Vance?"

In his answer, Trump noted that Secretary of State Marco Rubio could team up with Vance to create a formidable ticket.

"Well, I think most likely. In all fairness, he's the vice president, and I think Marco is also somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form," Trump replied.

"I also think we have incredible people, some of the people on the stage right here. So it's too early, obviously, to talk about it, but certainly he's doing a great job," he added. "And he would be probably favored at this point."
