JD Vance

Dear Commons Community,

A poll conducted by JL Partners  shows Vice President JD Vance as the “clear favorite” to succeed Trump, with 46% of Republican voters supporting him for the 2028 GOP presidential nomination. Other potential successors include Ron DeSantis (8%), Vivek Ramaswamy (7%), and Marco Rubio (6%). An Economist/YouGov survey also indicates Vance leads with 43% among Republicans.

Throughout his second term, President Donald Trump has joked about the possibility of a third term. The 22nd Amendment prohibits any president from being elected to more than two terms. Amending the Constitution proves difficult, as it requires a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate or a two-thirds vote from state legislatures. Ratification by three-fourths of the states is also necessary for change, which has cast doubt on claims that Trump may seek a third term by way of amending the Constitution in his favor.

Vance seems the logical choice to succeed Trump as a GOP nominee but  a lot can happen between now and 2028.
