Trump designates Vance as preferred candidate for 2028 at donor meeting

Donald Trump reportedly identified JD Vance as his preferred successor for the 2028 presidential election during a meeting with party donors. This comes against the backdrop of Trump's constitutional inability to run for president again.

While Trump selected Vance as his preferred candidate, he continues to leave the possibility of a showdown with Marco Rubio open. This positioning suggests that Trump is also keeping an eye on the dynamics within his party.
