Rand Paul Rejects JD Vance as Donald Trump's 'Heir Apparent'
"We saw Erika Kirk endorse JD Vance already for 2028 for president, Karl said. That was interesting. But also interesting was, so did Marco Rubio who in that article in Vanity Fair said that if JD Vance runs, he'll be the nominee, and I'll be one of the first to support him.' I know it's early. What do you make of this? Is JD Vance the heir apparent here?"
"I think there needs to be representatives in the Republican Party who still believe international trade is good, who still believe in free market capitalism, who still believe in low taxes. See, it used to separate conservatives and liberals that conservatives thought it was a spending problem, we didn't want less revenue, we wanted less spending. But now all these pro-tariff protectionists, they love taxes. And so they tax, tax, tax, and then they brag about all the revenue coming in."
Senator Rand Paul opposed the prospect of Vice President JD Vance succeeding President Donald Trump. He argued that the Republican Party needs representatives who support international trade, free-market capitalism, and low taxes. Paul criticized pro-tariff protectionists for favoring taxes and celebrating rising revenue, calling that stance inconsistent with conservatism. He said conservatives historically focused on reducing spending rather than increasing revenue. Paul committed to leading a conservative free-market wing within the party. The discussion noted endorsements of Vance by Erika Kirk and Marco Rubio, including Rubio's remark that he would support Vance if he ran.
