He asked whether people liked Vance or Rubio as attendees cheered, but said neither candidate has his endorsement; he described it as a \u201cdream team\u201d while emphasizing that it doesn\u2019t mean he backs either one. The piece notes Rubio recently filled in in the White House press room during Karoline Leavitt\u2019s 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\u2019s campaign appearance in iowa for Rep. Zach Nunn last week.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> polled attendees at a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/news\/white-house\/\" type=\"category\" id=\"125\">White House<\/a> event on Monday over who they would like to see on the 2028 presidential ticket between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it gonna be JD?
