Republicans at Dallas convention ponder post-Trump options
While Vice President JD Vance is seen as a potential successor to President Donald Trump, attendees at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas are divided on their 2028 candidate preferences. Names like Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis are frequently mentioned, but no clear favorite emerges. Some attendees say their decision hinges on Trump’s endorsement. Trump is constitutionally barred from running for a third term, and Republicans are preparing for an open primary to succeed him.
It's a similar situation on the Democratic side, where there's little consensus on whom the party should nominate.
