President Donald Trump is pitting two of his closest confidants to succeed him in office. “Which one of you is going to be at the top of the ticket?” the president told Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

President Trump said Vice President JD Vance was “probably favorite at this point” to succeed him as leader of the hard-right political movement.

President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that Vice President JD Vance is “most likely” the heir apparent to the Make America Great Again movement, the furthest he’s gone in backing Vance as a future presidential candidate.
