Trump says Vance and Rubio ‘perfect ticket’ for 2028
Donald Trump polled attendees at a White House dinner for law enforcement leaders on Monday about who they’d prefer on the 2028 Republican presidential ticket-Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He asked whether people liked Vance or Rubio as attendees cheered, but said neither candidate has his endorsement; he described it as a “dream team” while emphasizing that it doesn’t mean he backs either one. The piece notes Rubio recently filled in in the White House press room during Karoline Leavitt’s maternity leave and met Pope Leo XIV in Rome, earning praise from conservatives who have encouraged him to run for president in 2028. It also cites polling showing Vance leads Rubio by about 30 points in a RealClearPolitics average, and mentions Vance’s campaign appearance in iowa for Rep. Zach Nunn last week.

He then polled attendees, asking them “Who likes JD Vance?” and “Who likes Marco Rubio?” as attendees cheered for their favorite choice.
“Sounds like a good ticket,” Trump added, clarifying that neither candidate has his endorsement. “That was a perfect ticket. By the way, I do believe that’s a dream team, but these are minor details. That does not mean you have my endorsement under any circumstance.”
“I think it sounds like presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate,” the president added.
Last week, Rubio made an appearance in the White House press room, filling in for White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt while she is on maternity leave. The foreign policy leader also held a high-profile meeting with Pope Leo XIV last week in Rome.
Rubio’s performance was highly praised among conservatives, who called for him to make a bid for the presidency in 2028.
