Iran war elevates Marco Rubio in Trump's 2028 succession jockeying
NBC News
Trump has been informally polling his circle of friends and advisers about the 2028 election that could pit some of his top administration officials against one another.
In the early hours of Feb. 28, President Donald Trump and his administration joined Israel in launching a wave of strikes on Iran that would reverberate across the Middle East. That night, he was schmoozing at Mar-a-Lago with some of his top administration officials and political donors, with a pressing question: Marco or JD?
With a group of roughly 25 GOP donors, including New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and billionaire Georgia gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson, Trump asked the room whom they would prefer he support for president in 2028.
Attendees 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 a person in attendance, who, like others in this article, was granted anonymity to speak candidly.
“Yeah, that’s right,” said the second attendee about the informal Trump poll. “It was clear, at least that night.”
