Rubio says who could replace Trump in the upcoming election

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio believes that current US Vice President J.D. Vance could lead the Republican Party in the 2028 presidential election. This he stated on the air of Fox News.

According to Rubio, Vance is one of the strongest politicians of the new generation and a potential leader of the country after the end of Donald Trump's second term.

He's a friend of mine. I think he's ready. Although it's too early to say, as secretary of state, I don't get involved in domestic politics. I will work until January 2029, as long as the president trusts me," he said.

Earlier, Donald Trump confirmed that he is not going to run for a new term. He plans to hand over the leadership of the country to a "strong Republican".

Recall, on 20 January, Trump took office as President of the United States for the second time, becoming the first leader in the history of the country, returned to the White House after the break. At the time of inauguration he was 78 years old - he became the oldest US President, surpassing Joe Biden. In his speech, Trump promised that with his return, the "Golden Age of America" would begin.
