Sources Close To Admin Weigh In After Trump Reportedly Tips Hand On Potential Successor
President Donald Trump appears to have indicated who he would like to see succeed him as the face of the GOP and in the White House, according to a new Washington Post report.
During a recent private meeting with donors in the Oval Office, Trump said that “at the end of the day, we need to elect JD,” two people with knowledge of the comments told the Post. For months, Trump has privately and publicly polled allies, friends and staff on who should succeed him: Vance or Rubio.
“JD has all the bona fides of Trump, with a charm and disarming personality that makes it hard to taint him with the brashness and sometimes undesirable qualities of the President. He, like DeSantis, has an ability to evangelize MAGA that moves people toward it, not away from it,” one source close to the administration told the Caller.
“Having the President’s backing is the biggest hurdle, and it’s one that will keep others at bay. The fact that it’s coming so early is great for the party when the other side is lost,” the source added.
The president denied that the report was an endorsement in response to a Daily Caller question in the Oval Office. (Read more from “Sources Close To Admin Weigh In After Trump Reportedly Tips Hand On Potential Successor” HERE)
