Vance? Rubio? Noem? Here's Who Might Top the GOP Ticket in 2028

Bibhu Pattnaik

February 16, 2025

President Donald Trump‘s refusal to offer an early 2028 presidential endorsement for Vice President JD Vance has heightened speculation about who might lead the next GOP ticket.

What Happened: In a recent interview, President Trump did not confirm Vice President Vance as his automatic successor for the 2028 presidential election.

Trump, who will be term-limited in 2028, acknowledged Vance’s abilities but did not commit to endorsing him as his successor. He suggested that there are numerous competent individuals and that it is premature to make a decision.

Vance, at 40, has been a prominent figure in Trump’s administration, leading significant initiatives and representing the U.S. at international events. Despite Trump’s reluctance, Vance is generally considered a potential future leader of the MAGA movement.

Other potential Republican successors to Trump include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

Although the next presidential race is still four years away, Trump is anticipated to announce his endorsement shortly after the midterms next year.

Why It Matters: The endorsement from a sitting president can significantly influence the political trajectory of potential successors. Trump’s hesitation to endorse Vance may impact the latter’s political standing within the Republican party and the MAGA movement. T

his development could also open up the field for other potential successors, leading to a more competitive race for the 2028 Republican nomination.
