President Trump suggests JD Vance, Marco Rubio could succeed him — as he gives final answer on a third term

President Trump named two possible successors — Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio — but was coy about which one he would prefer.

The commander in chief also revealed in a wide-ranging interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that he’s “not looking” to pursue a third term in office after previously toying with the idea.

“It’s far too early to say that. But you know, I do have a vice president … and JD’s doing a fantastic job,” Trump said.

“I don’t want to get involved in that. I think he’s a fantastic, brilliant guy. Marco is great. There’s a lot of them that are great,” he added. “We have a lot of good people in this party.”

Last week, Trump announced that he was tapping Rubio as his interim national security adviser in addition to his duties as secretary of state, archivist and head of the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

Allies of Trump, including Steve Bannon, have been publicly advocating for the 47th president to pursue a third term despite the 22nd Amendment prohibiting a president from running for more than two terms.

Trump has teased the idea in the past but indicated that he’s not serious about actually pursuing it.

“I will say this. So many people want me to do it. I have never had requests so strong as that. But it’s something that, to the best of my knowledge, you’re not allowed to do,” Trump admitted.

“This is not something I’m looking to do. I’m looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican.”

A third presidential term would require a repeal of the 22nd Amendment or for Trump to exploit a succession loophole, experts have said.
