During an event on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-says-hell-end-birthright-citizenship-for-illegal-immigrants-children-if-reelected-president\/\" title=\"... vows to end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants&#039; kids if reelected.\">ending birthright citizenship<\/a>, reporters inquired if Trump was publicly supporting Vance&#8217;s candidacy, to which Trump responded that it&#8217;s too early to be discussing endorsements. Both vance adn Senator Marco Rubio are considered potential frontrunners for the Republican nomination, though neither has officially announced a bid. Trump has expressed admiration for Vance but emphasized that it&#8217;s premature to make decisions about 2028. Reports indicate trump has been actively lobbying GOP donors to support Vance, viewing him as a key candidate, although both Vance and Rubio have maintained their political independence and have not confirmed plans to run. The White House and Vance\u2019s office have declined to comment on these reports.  <\/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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> pushed back on reports that he\u2019s told GOP donors that Vice President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"7658\">JD Vance<\/a> is his preferred successor in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2028-elections\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"11676\">2028<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reporters asked Trump whether he was publicly advocating a Vance run during an Oval Office event on ending birthright citizenship on Thursday.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/4678407\/trump-way-too-early-endorse-jd-vance-2028\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump says it\u2019s \u2018way too early to even be thinking about\u2019 endorsing JD Vance for 2028<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/4678407\/trump-says-its-way-too-early-to-even-be-thinking-about-endorsing-jd-vance-for-2028\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump says it\u2019s \u2018way too early to even be thinking about\u2019 endorsing JD Vance for 2028<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/4676389\/rubio-crushes-vance-western-conservative-summit-2028-straw-poll\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Rubio crushes Vance in Western Conservative Summit 2028 straw poll<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI heard about it a little while ago,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI think he\u2019s great, but we\u2019re way too early to even be thinking about that\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are seen as front-runners for the GOP nomination from within Trump\u2019s Cabinet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither Vance nor Rubio has yet announced a presidential bid.
