U.S. President Donald Trump met with over twenty donors at his Mar-a-Lago estate shortly after the U.S. initiated bombing in Iran on March 10. According to BlockBeats, during the dinner, Trump posed a question to the attendees about their opinions on Vance and Rubio, with Rubio receiving more enthusiastic applause from the guests. Although the 2028 presidential election is more than two years away, Trump is actively seeking a suitable successor for his MAGA empire.

However, if the midterm election results are unfavorable, party activists may seek alternative candidates.
