After Brett Baier asked Trump if he saw Vance as his successor, the president quickly said, "No," though he conceded his vice president was "very capable."
If JD Vance was hoping Donald Trump would anoint him as his successor, he probably wasn’t thrilled by the president’s comments during his Fox News interview on Sunday.
After Brett Baier asked Trump if he saw Vance as his heir, the president quickly said, “No,” though he conceded his second vice president was “very capable.”
Still, Trump refused to endorse Vance as the next Republican presidential nominee after him, saying it was too soon.
“I think you have a lot of very capable people,” Trump told Baier. “So far I think he’s doing a fantastic job. It’s too early. We’re just starting.”
Baier noted that Vance would probably like to know where he stood with Trump by November next year, saying, “By the time we get to get to the midterms, [Vance] is going to be looking for an endorsement.”
