According to a report from politico, Trump has shifted his stance in favor of Vice President JD Vance over Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Sources suggest that Trump has reduced his polling for Vance versus Rubio and has publicly indicated confidence that Vance will be the nominee, influenced partly by Vance&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/memorial-day-should-be-every-day-in-america\/\" title=\"Memorial Day Should Be Every Day in America\">recent book tour<\/a>. Enthusiasm among Vance&#8217;s supporters is growing,with delegates at the Republican Midterm Convention chanting &#8220;48&#8221; in support of Vance for the 48th U.S. president.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile,Rubio has publicly stated he is not seeking the presidency in 2028,emphasizing his current focus on his role as Secretary of State and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-president-trump-to-pardon-gen-michael-flynn-per-report\/\" title=\"BREAKING: ... ... to Pardon Gen. Michael Flynn, Per ...\">national security adviser<\/a>. A source indicates that Rubio has privately ruled out a 2028 run and is content with his current responsibilities, keeping future options open for 2032 or beyond. The article highlights the ongoing jockeying among Republican figures as they position themselves for future presidential bids.  <\/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\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A new report says President Donald Trump has passed a watershed moment in his personal decision over who he will support to succeed him in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has been weighing whether to back Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n<p>The report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/playbook\/2026\/09\/10\/vances-dallas-dance-01070388\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a> cited sources it did not name and reported: \u201cthe president has scaled back his Vance vs. Marco Rubio polling, and is privately changing his tone when talking about Vance in recent months, saying he\u2019ll be the nominee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people familiar said Vance\u2019s book tour impressed Trump.
