(The Daily Signal)—President Donald Trump named two members of his Cabinet as an unbeatable duo in the 2028 presidential election.
When asked by a reporter on Air Force One Monday morning if he would run in 2028, Trump said, “We have great people.”
“One of them is standing right here,” he said, referring to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “We have JD [Vance], obviously. The Vice President is great. Marco is great, I think. I’m not sure if anybody would run against those. I think if they ever formed a group, it would be unstoppable.”
Trump said he “hasn’t really thought about” running again.
“We have some really good people,” he said.
The remarks came amid claims from MAGA podcaster and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon that “there is a plan” for Trump to run for a third term. (Even though the 22nd Amendment blocks a president from running for a third term.)
“I would love to do it—I have the best numbers ever,” Trump said in response to Bannon.
But the president ruled out the idea of running as Vance’s vice president.
“You’d be allowed to do that, but I wouldn’t do that,” he said. “I think it’s too cute.”

If they keep on track for the next four years then I would probably go with them.
The left will tell us why it’s racist to have a Cuban vice president.
The left isn’t going to matter that much by then.
JD Vance and Marco Rubio.
Yes. Awesome!
“You’d be allowed to do that, but I wouldn’t do that,” he said. “I think it’s too cute.”
Please reconsider.
They can run Obama for VP with whoever, and you crush him in the debate on the way to victory...
I wish he would, then Vance resigns and Trump picks Vance as VP--as one last big FU to the left.
“You’d be allowed to do that”
No you wouldn’t
A guy I work with has been close friends with Rubio for years. He was telling me how much he respects him. As a Senator I had a hard time with that, but as SecState, he’s right on. Rubio is incredible.
JDV/DJT 2028, tell me I’m wrong or it’s illegal!-)
I think working under Trump brings out the best in each of them. Whether they could hang onto that without him remains to be seen. Particularly in Rubio’s case.
“ JD Vance and Marco Rubio.”
Potential for 16 years.
Trump is terrific, but running the country in his 80’s; no thanks.
That would be a FU to the constitution.
