Donald Trump throws cold water, this is what he said about JD Vance as his successor in the 2028 US presidential elections

Donald Trump has dropped a bombshell of sorts in the political circles after claiming that JD Vance is not his automatic successor in the next 2028 US Presidential elections. Here's what he has said

Donald Trump has amazed the US political landscape with a surprising statement claiming that reining Vice President JD Vance may not be his obvious successor for the 2028 US Presidential elections, and there could be a twist in the story. After the end of the US Presidential elections which was won by the Trump-Vance duo, the now VP was being thought of as the next candidate of the Republican Party in the 2028 US Presidential elections, but Trump has now cast a shadow of doubt on this.

Trump makes stunning claim about JD Vance

According to an Independent US report, an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier filmed ahead of Super Bowl Sunday saw Trump make an astonishing claim when asked if JD Vance could be the Republican nominee in 2028 and the billionaire President's successor.

Tump replied denying it but also admitting that Vance is quite capable of being a good candidate. However, Trump also said that there are a lot of capable candidates in the Party who could contest, but it is quite early to tell what may happen.


The statement by President Trump does not entirely isolate Vance from the political aspect, but will still keep hopes for his candidacy alive, but this could be considered as a slight setback, coming as a direct statement from a sitting President.
