‘I think You Have A Lot of Very Capable People’: Trump Throws New VP Under the Bus
President refuses to endorse Vance for 2028
Donald Trump just humiliated his new vice president, live on Fox News.
Trump was sitting down for an interview with Fox News, and refused to publicly back Vice President JD Vance to succeed him as president in four years’ time.
Trump will be completing two terms as president in 2028, and due to constitutional term limits Republicans will have to choose a new nominee to run that year.
But Trump cut the legs out from Vance when Fox News host Bret Baier asked him what should have been an easy, softball question.
“Right now, do you view Vice President JD Vance as your successor, the Republican nominee in 2028?” Baier asked, only after he and Trump finished talking about paper or plastic straws.
“No,” Trump said, very plainly, before trying to soften the blow somewhat by describing Vance as “very capable.”
“I mean, I don’t think that, you know, I think you have a lot of very capable people,” Trump said of the potential Republican 2028 field of hopefuls.
Vance, a former first-term senator from Ohio, has been nearly invisible in the early days of the new Trump administration.
Instead, Trump’s billionaire advisor, Elon Musk, has been much more prominent and in the headlines as Musk and his team from the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency,” or DOGE take a hatchet to an array of federal agencies and functions.
