In his interview with the ‘Pod Force One’ podcast, Trump said that vice-president JD Vance and US secretary of state Marco Rubio running together in 2028 would be “unbeatable”.

Both men are seen as contenders for the 2028 Republican nomination, and Rubio’s recent turn at the White House podium drew praise from Republicans and even some Democrats who noted his smooth performance, which included quips and a 1990s hip-hop reference to describe Iran’s negotiating position.
