Speaking to CBS’ 60 Minutes, Trump was asked whether he would endorse a potential successor.

“Probably. Not necessarily,” he responded, later adding, “Maybe I’m better off not getting involved.”

Asked who he would consider as a potential successor besides vice-president JD Vance, he praised secretary of state Marco Rubio, describing him as a strong candidate.
