REUTERS: ‘JD or Marco?’: Iran war raises 2028 stakes as Trump weighs Vance vs. Rubio

As the war in Iran threatens to imperil President Donald Trump’s legacy, the political stakes also are rising for two of his top lieutenants: Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The pair, widely viewed as potential successors to Trump, have been thrust into still-developing negotiations to end the ​war at a moment when the Republican Party is already weighing its post-Trump future.

Republican strategist and ROKK Partner Ron Bonjean shared his thoughts on whether a lack of endorsement from Trump will hurt Vance’s chance at Presidency in 2028 in Reuters.
