Since President Donald Trump selected then-Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate, it has been assumed that Vance would be the next man up to lead the president’s coalition into the 2028 presidential election. Following the assassination of its leader, conservative icon Charlie Kirk, the powerful right-wing organization Turning Point USA went so far as to preemptively endorse the vice president over three years out from the next general election. 

The Washington Examiner’s Peter Laffin explained last week that aside from Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio should also be considered a top contender for the 2028 Republican nomination. Laffin is correct: Rubio has shone in his role as the nation’s top diplomat. The secretary has displayed a profound understanding of our foreign adversaries and has the ability to explain the game and the players to the American public.
