Trump has avoided naming a preferred successor and said in February that, while Vance was “very capable,” it was too soon to make such calls.

The remarks followed speculation that Trump might attempt to defy constitutional limits and seek a third term.

“It’s too early, obviously, to talk about it, but certainly he’s doing a great job.

“And he would be probably favored at this point,” Trump said.

Trump also floated the idea of Vance teaming up with Secretary of State Marco Rubio to create a formidable Republican ticket.

“I think Marco is also somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form,” Trump said.
Trump has suggested serving another term several times, despite the US Constitution limiting presidents to two terms.
