Concha acknowledged that the United States is roughly three years off from electing a new president, but noted how Trump has praised Vance and Rubio “seemingly from Day One,” teeing up “quite the potent one-two punch of a ticket.”

“I don’t see a scenario that could even remotely challenge Vance and Rubio being the 2028 presidential ticket. They are wholly embraced by MAGA, the president’s 78 million supporters who voted for him in the last election,” Concha said on Fox News’s Fox & Friends First.

“They may even bring in more voters in terms of independents, in terms of Latinos, as well, so the net may only widen. And most importantly, they have the backing of President Trump, who obviously founded [the Make America Great Again movement.]”

Concha predicted that “pretend candidates” such as former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene will seek a run for office, and will “get some” attention from the press. However, Vance and Rubio will have “no issue” in earning the nomination, giving them time to “build the brand.”

Greene resigned from Congress in January after a dramatic split from Trump. In December 2025, she said she had “zero plans” for another run for office.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is seen as a potential candidate for the Democratic Party, and she made headlines for her comments at the Munich Security Conference. Concha said the congresswoman’s statements on Taiwan made former Vice President Kamala Harris’s “word salads sound incompetent.”

MIDTERM ELECTIONS GIVE VANCE A CHANCE TO BUILD POLITICAL CAPITAL

Despite growing popularity within her party, Ocasio-Cortez did not directly answer if she would run for president. A reporter asked if she would “impose a wealth tax or a billionaire’s tax” if she ever ran for president, to which Ocasio-Cortez said, “We don’t have to wait for any one president to impose a wealth tax.”

Vance also dodged answering a possible 2028 presidential run question earlier this month, though he did say his wife and children will play “a huge factor” in determining this.
