"After the president posed his question to the crowd, those present overwhelmingly indicated Secretary of State Marco Rubio through their cheering, according to two people who were at the event. It was almost unanimous for Marco, said one attendee. Yeah, that's right. It was clear, at least that night, said another."
"We wrote about this at Axios a little while ago, which is Donald Trump likes to poll people about, Hey, what do you think about 2028? Who do you the candidate should be?' And he asks, Marco Rubio or JD Vance?' He doesn't want them to run against each other, he wants them to to run with each other."
"A lot that is just sort of recency bias, and the fact that Marco Rubio has a portfolio: secretary of state, it puts him in the front and center of global affairs, and national security advisor, it puts him directly in the White House. The vice president doesn't quite have that."
During a February 28 event at Mar-a-Lago, President Trump posed a question to approximately 25 GOP donors and administration officials about whether Marco Rubio or JD Vance should lead the 2028 GOP ticket. The crowd's response strongly favored Rubio, with attendees describing the reaction as nearly unanimous, though one person disputed this characterization as more evenly split. Trump reportedly seeks both candidates to run together rather than against each other. Political analysts attribute Rubio's favorable reception to recency bias and his high-profile position as Secretary of State, which keeps him visible in global affairs and national security matters. Despite this donor enthusiasm, Vance currently leads in early 2028 primary polls.
