New Delhi, May 15 -- Vice President JD Vance brushed aside speculation about a possible 2028 Republican primary showdown with Marco Rubio, joking that President Donald Trump was simply leaning into his reality television instincts when discussing potential successors.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday (May 13), Vance dismissed the idea that Trump was seriously orchestrating a public contest over who might inherit the Republican mantle after his presidency.

"I just don't think it sounds like the president of the United States to have a televised competition for who would succeed him as his apprentice," Vance said.

"I just think that's not at all what you would expect the president to do," he added.
