JAKARTA - United States (US) Vice President JD Vance refused to speak about his chances of becoming Donald Trump's successor in the 2028 Presidential Election (Pilpres). Vance emphasized that his focus now is working for the American people.
"I'm not too focused even on the 2026 elections, let alone one, two years after that," he said, referring to the part-time elections next year.
President Donald Trump previously indicated that the incumbent Vice President JD Vance could be his successor in the 2028 US elections. He called the incumbent Foreign Minister Marco Rubio a suitable companion.
"Well, I think it's very likely," President Trump told reporters when asked if Vance was the successor to the movement he had inspired, MAGA (Make America Great Again), quoted from Reuters August 6.
"To be honest, he is vice president," he said.

Trump also proposed that Vance and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio join forces to get a Republican ticket in the future.
Although the 2028 presidential election is still far away, Trump has considerable influence on the Republican base. Every sign he supports a candidate has significant implications.
Trump has previously refused to provide any support for his successor in 2028. He said in February Vance was "very capable" but it was too early to call him a leading candidate.
Vance, a former 40-year-old Marine, has made up an important role in the Trump administration, serving as key diplomat and key representative marketing Trump's domestic policies at home and foreign policy abroad.
