Vance on Trump declining to endorse him: ‘It’s too early’

Vice President Vance argued that it’s too early for President Trump to name his successor, after Trump declined to endorse his No. 2 as the Republican nominee in 2028.
Vance, in an interview with the Daily Mail, laughed off questions over the president saying he wouldn’t name the vice president as his pick to succeed him.
“I think he said exactly what he should have said, which is, ‘It’s too early,’” Vance said, adding that he isn’t focused on politics.
“There will be a time to focus on politics, of course — [like] the midterms. … So let’s do a good job and then worry about the midterms,” the former Ohio senator continued. “And then we’ll worry about presidential politics at the appropriate time.”
Fox News’s Bret Baier had asked Trump in a pre-Super Bowl interview if he viewed Vance as the 2028 GOP nominee. Trump replied, “No, but he’s very capable.”
“I think you have a lot of very capable people. So far, I think he’s doing a very fantastic job,” the president added. “It’s too early; we’re just starting.”
