Tucker Carlson endorses JD Vance for Trump's legacy

Tucker Carlson recently expressed his belief that Vice President JD Vance is the only Republican capable of carrying on Donald Trump’s legacy for the 2028 presidential election. He shared this view on the Vince podcast, hosted by Vince Coglianese. Carlson praised Vance for his loyalty and noted his significant role in supporting Trump. He stated, “I don’t see any other—at this point, as of today—any other conceivable option,” suggesting that he believes Vance will likely be the nominee. When President Trump was asked if he views Vance as a potential successor, he responded that Vance is "very capable" but didn't confirm any succession plans. Trump acknowledged that many capable people exist in the party but emphasized that it's too early to make predictions. During the podcast, Carlson and Coglianese discussed Trump's protective response regarding Vance, suggesting that the former president might not want to focus on the next election just yet. In a separate interview, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon expressed confidence that Trump will run and win in 2028. Meanwhile, JD Vance stated he is focused on serving the American people and ensuring Trump’s success rather than on running for president himself.
