"Ultimately, we need to elect J.D.," the publication quotes the US president as saying. According to WP, this statement indicates Trump's willingness to publicly support Vance.

Donald Trump wants J.D. Vance to be his successor in the 2028 election, The Washington Post reports, citing sources. "Ultimately, we need to elect J.D.," the US president said during a meeting with donors in the Oval Office about two weeks ago. The publication writes that these words contrast with Trump's rhetoric over the past year, when he publicly egged on Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to compete for his favor. At the same time, he repeatedly refused to say whom he would prefer to see in power. The source says that it is "too early" to determine when Vance will announce his candidacy or when Trump will publicly endorse him. At the same time, the president's advisers say that the American leader's opinion could still change. More IZ RU news in MAX

The Washington Post revealed that US President Donald Trump told donors in private meetings that he wants to see his running mate, JD Vance, win the 2028 presidential election, a move seen as a sign that he is open to supporting him, despite some advisors believing Trump has not yet chosen his successor. According to the newspaper, Trump said during a meeting with donors in the Oval Office about two weeks ago, "Ultimately, we need to elect JD." This statement contradicts Trump's rhetoric last year, when he publicly encouraged competition between Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his endorsement, refusing to announce his preferred candidate to lead the party in the election. Despite praising Vance in front of donors, the newspaper quoted a White House official as saying that in recent weeks Trump has continued to ask his aides about the comparison between Vance and Rubio, while one of his advisors said he has secretly made his choice in favor of Vance, believing it is not yet time to announce it. He officially supported it. #AlMayadeen

The Washington Post reported on Thursday, August 6 that US President Donald Trump, in a private meeting with his financial backers, mentioned J.D. Vance as a candidate for the 2028 presidential election, saying, "Ultimately, we have to choose J.D." According to the Washington Post, these statements come as Trump has refused to introduce his political successor in recent months and has continued the competition between Vance and Marco Rubio. However, some of the US president's advisers say he has not yet made a final decision about supporting the Republican Party's candidate in the 2028 election. The Washington Post also wrote that Vance's decision to enter the presidential race will be determined after the midterm elections. The newspaper added that JD Vance has attracted Trump's positive opinion in recent weeks by playing a role in negotiations with the Islamic Republic, and his advisers believe that this role, despite the failure of that understanding, has been politically beneficial to Vance.

The Washington Post reported that US President Donald Trump said in a private meeting with his donors: "Ultimately, we have to elect JD." The comment is a sign that he may support JD Vance in the 2028 presidential election.
