Conservative voters have debated whether J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio will lead the GOP in 2028. Recent coverage suggests Rubio is gaining support among Trump voters while Vance is losing momentum. Ann Coulter, known for strong political opinions, argues for Vance’s future and criticizes Rubio as controlled by out-of-touch donors. She also discusses her opposition to the Iran war and connects her views to broader conflicts within the Republican Party. Coulter comments on a Trump-backed primary contest involving Thomas Massie and Ed Gallrein, describing it as among the worst aspects of Trump politics and referencing a Trump cult.
"So, who you got in 2028: J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio? That's the question conservatives across the country have been asking each other in recent months. Last year, Vance '28 had seemed inevitable, but no longer. "Trump voters like Marco Rubio More and More," blared the headline of a recent piece in the Atlantic. "And J.D. Vance less and less," noted the subheadline."
"But at least one prominent conservative with a reputation for uncommon foresight still sees Vance as the future of the GOP-and Rubio as a defective robot programmed by out-of-touch donors. In a scathing Spectator article published last week, Ann Coulter explained why she's "Never Rubio." And in an interview with The American Conservative, she explained why she's on Team Vance."
"A partial transcript of the interview is below (and you can watch the whole thing here). The bulk of the conversation was about Rubio, Vance, and the Iran war-which Coulter opposes-but I began by asking about Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who lost his Republican primary on Tuesday. President Trump had endorsed Rep. Thomas Massie's opponent, Ed Gallrein, whom nobody had heard of until five minutes ago."
"I don't think there's ever been another president, another politician, another breathing human being that I have such a long "con" list for but also a pretty good "pro" list. And oh my gosh, that is Trump. I mean, this Massie thing is the worst of Trump for various reasons. I can't blame Trump for this, but there is a Trump cult."
