    Trump Names JD Vance, Marco Rubio As Favored Contenders For 2028 Presidential Ticket

    President Donald Trump has made his clearest endorsement yet for a future Republican presidential candidate, declaring that Vice President JD Vance is “most likely” to carry the MAGA torch after his second term ends.

    Speaking on Tuesday, Trump described Vance as “probably the favorite” to lead the Republican Party into the next election cycle.

    “He’s most likely the heir,” Trump said, referring to Vance. “He understands the movement, he understands the people, and he’s doing a phenomenal job as Vice President.”

    This is the furthest Trump has gone in positioning a successor to his populist-nationalist agenda, formally known as the Make America Great Again movement.

    Rubio: VP Vance Would Be a “Great Nominee”

    Trump also praised Secretary of State Marco Rubio, calling him “somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form,” suggesting Rubio could play a key role in a future Vance-led administration or campaign.

    Rubio, for his part, echoed Trump’s praise of Vance during a recent interview with Lara Trump on Fox News.

    “I think he’s doing a great job as Vice President. He’s a close friend, and I hope he intends to do it,” Rubio said of Vance.

    Although recent polling has shown Rubio with some early support among Republican voters for a potential 2028 run, conventional political wisdom indicates he wouldn’t start publicly signaling interest in running for president until much closer to the election.

    “You never know what the future holds,” Rubio said. “But if I’m able to finish this term strong and we accomplish what we’ve set out to do, I’ll be satisfied with that as the apex of my public service career.”

    Still, Rubio did not rule out a future run, leaving the door open for a possible challenge or alignment with a Vance ticket.

    DeSantis on the Sidelines

    Noticeably absent from the conversation was Governor Ron DeSantis, once seen as a natural successor to Trump’s political movement. Despite building a national profile and gaining traction in earlier cycles, Trump’s latest comments suggest DeSantis’s national ambitions may be deferred.

    DeSantis has not commented on Trump’s endorsement of Vance, and there have been no signs of reconciliation between the two since the heated 2024 GOP primary battle that Trump won decisively.

    After Trump tapped Marco Rubio to serve as Secretary of State, many within the GOP expected Florida’s open Senate seat to go to Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law and a rising star within the Republican Party. However, DeSantis declined to appoint her, widely viewed as a political snub. Months later, President Trump publicly endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds for governor of Florida—despite growing rumors that First Lady Casey DeSantis was quietly laying the groundwork for her own gubernatorial bid.

    JD Vance: Rising Star with Trump’s Blessing

    Vance, the author of Hillbilly Elegy and a former venture capitalist turned U.S. Senator from Ohio, has quickly risen through the ranks. Since joining Trump’s 2024 ticket, he has been a key spokesperson for the administration, often on issues like immigration enforcement, trade reform, and a restrained foreign policy.

    With Trump now openly calling Vance the future of the movement, the groundwork appears to be laid for a smooth transition of MAGA leadership — one that could shape the GOP’s identity for years beyond Trump’s final term.

    Report: Trump Wants This candidate To Hit The Campaign Trail

    Presumed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has reportedly gotten tired of Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake spending so much time at Mar-a-lago.

    According to a recent Washington Post report, Trump is concerned Lake has focused too much on networking with the Republican elite and not enough on campaigning for a crucial win in the contentious state.

    “At one point last year, after grumbling for months that she was at his Mar-a-Lago Club too often, Trump gently suggested to Lake that she should leave the club and hit the campaign trail in Arizona, according to a person with direct knowledge of his comments,” the Post reporters wrote. “Trump has also asked others if she can really win in Arizona and if she might drag down his own poll numbers as he seeks the presidency again in 2024, advisers said.”

    Trump also privately thinks Lake’s 2022 election fraud claims are full of hot air, according to the report.

    “She didn’t win,” Trump bluntly told a political ally at a Mar-a-Lago dinner earlier this year, according to the Post.

    One other notable Lake moment got the attention of Trump and his inner circle: the incident in which a Lake ally released a tape of former Arizona GOP chair Jeff DeWit appearing to show Lake being offered a bribe to not run for Senate in 2024. The Post reporters described Trump’s reaction to the incident as “more surprised than angry” when he learned about it on the night of the New Hampshire primary in January.

    “She tapes everything?” Trump reportedly asked. “That’s good to know.”

    In a statement sent to the Post defended the MAGA Republican “Kari Lake is a Smart and Fearless Leader who will WIN in Arizona, and help us flip the Senate to Republican control. Kari’s Opponent, Ruben Gallego, is an Open Borders RADICAL, who is BAD on Inflation and SOFT on Terrorists and Crime.”

    Super Bowl Champions Respond Following Bogus Reports Team Will Snub White House Invite

    The Philadelphia Eagles will reportedly go to the White House if invited, pouring cold water on the online firestorm after bogus claims said the Super Bowl champions rejected the invitation

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday evening that the team “looks forward” to receiving an invitation from President Donald Trump.

    “To those wondering,” Schefter said in a tweet. “Eagles sources say the team is planning on visiting the White House this off-season and looks forward to receiving its invitation.”

    That tweet came after a multi-day social media frenzy that began with a bogus claim that the Eagles had already turned down the president’s offer. The rumor was based on a weeks-old report from The U.S. Sun, which claimed an anonymous player told the outlet that everyone on the team decided days before Super Bowl LIX that they would not visit the White House if they won the game.

    The rumor drew the ire of a number of prominent conservative voices, including Megyn Kelly. Hours after lashing out at the team, however, Kelly acknowledged the possibility that she’d been duped amid the social media outrage.

    According to additional reporting from insider Ian Rapoport, the team would be “honored” to receive an invitation and are excited about going to the White Hous

    The tradition of Super Bowl-winning teams visiting the White House began with the Pittsburgh Steelers after their Super Bowl XIV victory in 1980 during Jimmy Carter’s presidency.

    While most teams have visited over the years, the tradition has increasingly become political, with players and teams sometimes declining the invitation based on personal or political reasons.

    In 2018, President Trump notably disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles after reports emerged that multiple players planned to skip in protest.

    Trump Gives Blunt Answer What Happens To Iran If He’s Assassinated

    In an interview broadcast Tuesday night, President Donald Trump delivered a blunt warning to Iran’s ruling regime: any attempt on his life would be met with overwhelming retaliation.

    Speaking with NewsNation host Katie Pavlich on “Katie Pavlich Tonight,” Trump said he has already ordered a devastating response if Iran follows through on threats made against him.

    “They shouldn’t be doing it, but I’ve left notification. Anything ever happens, the whole country is going to get blown up,” Trump told Pavlich. “Originally, Biden should have said something, when they made a statement. We always said, ‘Why isn’t Biden saying anything?’ Because he didn’t.”

    Trump also criticized what he described as weakness from the Biden administration, arguing that failing to respond forcefully to foreign threats only emboldens America’s enemies.

    “But a president has to defend a president. If I were here, and they were making that threat to somebody, even, not even a president, but somebody, like they did with me, I would absolutely hit them so hard,” Trump said. “But I have very firm instructions — anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this earth.”

    Iranian threats escalate against Trump

    Trump’s comments came as Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has posted multiple threatening messages about Trump on social media—including imagery depicting the president in a coffin. Trump said those threats cannot be ignored, especially given Iran’s long history of supporting terrorism and political violence across the Middle East.

    To many conservatives, the threats underscore a larger pattern: Iran’s theocratic leaders grow more aggressive when the United States appears unwilling to enforce red lines. Republicans have repeatedly argued that deterrence only works when America backs it with strength, resolve, and consequences.

    Biden administration acknowledged IRGC assassination plot

    Even under the Biden administration, the threat from Iran has been formally documented.

    Biden’s Justice Department announced the indictment of a senior member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on charges of conspiring to kill former National Security Advisor John Bolton in 2022. Prosecutors alleged that a confidential source was offered $300,000 to carry out the assassination.

    For Republicans, the plot was more proof that Iran is not simply a hostile state—but a regime willing to target Americans directly, including former senior officials.

    Trump’s stance: defend dissidents, punish brutality

    Trump has previously warned Iran not to harm protesters who oppose the regime, threatening consequences if demonstrators were executed. While Iran did not hang those specific protesters, the regime’s security forces killed hundreds during the crackdown.

    Conservatives have long viewed Iran’s government as an oppressive theocracy that violently suppresses its own people while funding terrorist proxies abroad. Many Republicans argue the U.S. should side firmly with dissidents and freedom-minded citizens, not appease the clerics in Tehran.

    Soleimani strike remains a defining moment

    One of the most significant actions of Trump’s first term against Iran was the January 2020 strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, an IRGC commander widely viewed by U.S. officials as responsible for planning attacks on Americans and allied forces.

    The strike was praised by many Republicans as a clear demonstration of deterrence: when Iran targets Americans, the United States responds decisively.

    A major 2025 strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure

    The article also notes that in June 2025, the United States Air Force bombed multiple facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan connected to Iran’s nuclear program, reportedly dropping as many as 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators.

    The operation involved a 37-hour flight by seven B-2A Spirit bombers and inflicted significant damage to Iran’s nuclear capabilities with no American losses.

    Ellen DeGeneres Flees To England After Trump’s Reelection, Vows Never To Return

      Ellen DeGeneres has reportedly left the United States following Donald Trump‘s decisive reelection. Alongside her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, DeGeneres has relocated to the rural Cotswolds region in southwestern England, where the celebrity couple plans to settle permanently.

      Reports indicate that the pair has already begun the process of parting ways with their California properties. According to sources cited by The Wrap on Wednesday, their Montecito mansion had been “pocket-listed” for sale, or will be officially listed soon. Just one day later, Fox News confirmed their multimillion-dollar estate had already sold:

      The DeGeneres source told the outlet that Trump’s re-election had inspired the couple’s decision to jump ship. DeGeneres announced her support for Vice President Kamala Harris in September by reposting Taylor Swift’s Instagram endorsement. She simply added, “This childless cat lady couldn’t agree more,” a direct dig at Vice President-elect JD Vance.

      Representatives for DeGeneres and Rossi did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

      While the decision to leave the U.S. appears to stem primarily from dissatisfaction with the election results, some close to the couple have suggested that DeGeneres’ departure may also be tied to the ongoing fallout from her professional controversies.

      In 2022, allegations of a toxic workplace culture on The Ellen DeGeneres Show surfaced, including alleged sexual misconduct. These accusations significantly damaged her reputation and marked the end of her 19-year daytime television career.

      DeGeneres has since expressed frustration about what she described as being “pushed out of show business” in a Netflix stand-up special.

      Following an internal investigation by Warner Bros. into DeGeneres’s talk show, she issued a written apology to her staff while seemingly absolving herself of any responsibility.

      “On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that The Ellen DeGeneres Show would be a place of happiness—no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect. Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case.”

      “I could not have the success I’ve had without all of your contributions. My name is on the show and everything we do and I take responsibility for that. Alongside Warner Bros., we immediately began an internal investigation and we are taking steps, together, to correct the issues. As we’ve grown exponentially, I’ve not been able to stay on top of everything and relied on others to do their jobs as they knew I’d want them done. Clearly some didn’t. That will now change and I’m committed to ensuring this does not happen again,” she continued.

      Fox continues:

      Warner Bros. announced following their findings, there would be staffing changes. “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” aired its final episode in 2022, but by then, DeGeneres’ reputation had been permanently impacted.

      DeGeneres’ reported move follows empty threats from other A-listers, including Cher, Sharon Stone and Barbra Streisand, who had threatened to leave the U.S. if Trump were victorious once again. Speaking with The Guardian in 2023, Cher said she “almost got an ulcer the last time” Trump nearly regained power. “If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country].”

        On Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced he will step down from his leadership position in November.

        McConnell, who turned 82 this month, is announcing the decision in a speech on the Senate floor.

        The news was first reported by The Associated Press, which obtained a copy of his prepared remarks.

        “One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” McConnell said in prepared remarks obtained by the AP. “So I stand before you today … to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.”

          Usha Vance Addresses Possibility Of Becoming First Lady In 2028

          Second Lady Usha Vance is taking it day by day.

          During a recent interview, the second lady responded to speculation her husband, JD Vance, is angling to be the next Republican presidential nominee.

          “People do ask about it,” Usha Vance told Meghan McCain on her podcast “Citizen McCain.”

          While she acknowledged the possibility of her husband, Vice President JD Vance, running for president, Usha Vance emphasized that she moved into the Washington area with “no intention whatsoever” of considering his political future. However, she pointed out that she also had no intention of being involved in politics four years ago.

          For now, Usha Vance said she is focused on the present, though she did not completely dismiss the idea.

          “My attitude is that this is a four-year period where I have a set of responsibilities to my family, to myself, to obviously the country and that’s really what I’m focused on,” Usha Vance said. “I’m not plotting out next steps or really trying for anything after this.”

          She continued, “In a dream world, eventually I’ll be able to live in my home and kind of continue my career and all those sorts of things. And if that happens in four years, I understand. If that happens in some other point in the future, I understand. Just sort of along for the ride and enjoying it while I can.”

          As vice president, Vance is considered the political frontrunner to be the Republican nominee for president in 2028.

          “I really am just not focused on politics. I’m not focused on the midterm elections in 2026, much less the presidential election in 2028. When we get to that point, I’ll talk to the president. We’ll figure out what we want to do,” Vance told Lawrence Jones in a “Fox & Friends” exclusive interview in April.

          In March, Tucker Carlson, co-founder of the Daily Caller News Foundation, forecasted that Vice President JD Vance will emerge as the Republican Party’s presidential nominee in 2028. Carlson’s statement, made on the “VINCE” podcast, sheds light on the increasing influence of Vance within the party and the likelihood of him becoming the successor to Donald Trump’s political legacy.

          Despite Donald Trump declining to endorse Vance during a February Fox News interview, where he stated there were “a lot of very capable people” in the Republican Party, Carlson is optimistic that the former president will ultimately support the vice president in 2028. Trump’s comment, which may have seemed like a rejection to some, was interpreted by Carlson as a temporary stance, not a definitive end to any future support.

          “I think people want to leave a legacy, all of us do, and great men especially do. And the only person in the entire Republican Party from my position who’s capable of carrying on the Trump legacy and expanding it, making it what it should fully be, is JD Vance,” Carlson explained. He also praised Vance’s loyalty to Trump and his profound service, indicating that Trump’s current withholding of endorsement may have been a strategic decision.

          Trump Strikes Deal Narrowly Averting Trade War With Canada

            By Presidencia de la República del Ecuador - REUNIÓN CON JUSTIN TRUDEAU, PRIMER MINISTRO DE CANADÁ, 05 DE MARZO DE 2024., Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=146895555

            President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed to terms on a deal to delay Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canadian imports into the United States on Monday afternoon.

            After a phone call with President Donald Trump on Monday afternoon, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada will immediately enhance “coordination” with the U.S. and send 10,000 troops to the U.S./Canada border.

            Canada’s change in policy comes after Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico, along with a 10% tariff on China, until the countries did more to prevent the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs through U.S. borders. In response to Trump’s tariffs, Canada and Mexico retaliated with 25% tariffs on American goods. Trudeau said that after his call with Trump, the “tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.”

            “I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border,” wrote Trudeau on X. “In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.”

            “Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together,” he added.

            The agreement was reached just hours after Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed on a similar arrangement earlier in the day.

            Trump confirmed the details of Trudeau’s announcement, writing in a post on Truth Social:

            “Canada has agreed to ensure we have a secure Northern Border, and to finally end the deadly scourge of drugs like Fentanyl that have been pouring into our Country, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, while destroying their families and communities all across our Country,” he began. “Canada will implement their $1.3 Billion Border plan, and as per Prime Minister Trudeau, will be, ‘reinforcing the Border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are, and will be, working on protecting the Border. In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the Border, launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl, and we will be backing it with $200 million.’”

            “As President, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of ALL Americans, and I am doing just that. I am very pleased with this initial outcome, and the Tariffs announced on Saturday will be paused for a 30 day period to see whether or not a final Economic deal with Canada can be structured. FAIRNESS FOR ALL!” he added.

            Earlier on Monday, Trump reiterated to reporters in the Oval Office that he would like to see Canada become “a state.”

            “We give them protection, military protection. We don’t need them to build our cars. I’d rather see Detroit or South Carolina or Tennessee, any one of our states build the cars. They could do it very easily,” Trump said. “We don’t need [Canada] for the cars. We don’t need them for lumber. We don’t need them for anything. We don’t need them for energy. We have more energy than they do.”

            “Why are we willing to lose between a hundred billion and two hundred billion dollars a year?” Trump asked. “We don’t need them. As a state, it’s different.”

            Biden Challenger Signals Openness To Being Haley’s VP

              Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips could turn this election on its head…

              During a recent interview the long-shot primary challenger to President Biden said he was open to running alongside Nikki Haley as a “unity ticket.”

              “I think it’s a conversation that Ambassador Haley and I should have, if that’s what this comes down to,” Phillips said in a Thursday interview on Minneapolis’s News Talk 830 WCCO, first highlighted by Mediaite. 

              Phillips said “in the event of a Donald Trump victory this November,” he thinks “any American who opposes that, should celebrate, encourage and inspire an alternative that can actually win and lead our country in the way that people want, and I think anybody, including myself, should keep open minds and hearts about that.”

              “I hope Nikki Haley does, and I think America could be very well served by some type of a bipartisan ticket that restores faith in government and most importantly, demonstrates to the world — to the world — that America can work together and restore its extraordinary brand around the entire world,” Phillips said.

              The Minnesota Democrat repeatedly argued that Democrats should nominate someone else to take on Biden before ultimately jumping into the race himself.
