Politicians can always change their minds. So, this isn't chiseled in stone. But Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he currently has no plans to run for president in 2028. He’s essentially endorsing Vice President JD Vance for the Oval Office gig. Could he still be a potential VP for Vance? That’s what some are hoping.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio seemingly endorses Vice President JD Vance for President in 2028.
“Well, I think JD Vance would be a great nominee. If he decides he wants to do that.”
Lara Trump: “Do you have your sights set outside the State Department?”
Rubio: “Well, I think JD Vance would be a great nominee. If he decides he wants to do that. I think he’s doing a great job as Vice President. He’s a close friend and I hope he intends to do it.”

That sounded like an endorsement for Vance to us.
Posters say they’d support either Vance or Rubio for president. But many say they want them both.

JD will have my vote, but I would vote for Marco Rubio as well. Maybe they could team up.

Rubio + Vance on the same page? Sounds like a promising future

We could get behind that ticket easily.
At least one poster says they want Rubio to stay put as Secretary of State if a Republican wins the White House in 2028 after Trump's term.
If for some reason Vance did not run for president I would fully support Rubio. I think he is doing an outstanding job right now and he has run for president before. He would also make an excellent VP he is politically very well poised for greatness in my opinion.

Please stay on as Secretary of State in the next administration.

Or VP? 🇺🇸

No. He has been the best SoS i can remember. I don't think anyone else could do as good of job. I'm not sure about who would make the best VP. 🤔

Most agree that Rubio has been stellar under Trump. If he’s a part of the next administration, we can see many supporting that decision.
Posters say Vance being the VP makes it practically a given he’ll be the presidential nominee.
Even thou its early JD definitely has the momentum! 🇺🇸

J.D. would be good, but we have many. Let's wait & see closer to election time.

We’ll see in 18 months.

We sure will! 💯🇺🇸

That doesn’t seem that far off, does it? But a lot could change between now and then. Still, Vance/Rubio 2028 has a nice ring to it.
