US President Donald Trump has named Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Marco Rubio as one of the potential candidates in the 2028 presidential election, Trump said in an interview with CBS News on November 6, APA reports.
The US leader was asked whether he would endorse the Republican Party's candidate in the next presidential election.
"Maybe, but not necessarily. We have very strong candidates. There are a lot of people I have great relationships with," Trump replied.
When asked whom he considered a potential candidate besides Vice President JD Vance, the president named Marco Rubio.
"I think Marco is fantastic. But there are many others, and I'd rather not name them. There are a few senators who are also very good," Trump said.
The US president emphasized that he had not yet decided whether to intervene in the election process.
"Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Maybe it would be better if I stayed out of it. I think if I do, it will have a big impact. Because my endorsement has always carried great weight," he added.
