Donald Trump has had his say on whether Vice President JD Vance could become his successor in the 2028 presidential elections.

When President Trump was first elected in 2016, he had running mate Mike Pence alongside him, with whom he continued with throughout his 2020 presidential bid.

But after the 47th POTUS lost to Joe Biden and the subsequent January 6 Capitol riots wreaked havoc, Trump and Pence had a falling out, and it was Vance who Trump ultimately decided to have as his running mate for the 2024 elections.

With Trump unable to run again for president in 2028, many have viewed Vance as the favorite to be the Republican candidate.

However, Trump seemingly does not see it that way.

The 78-year-old was asked about his vice president in an interview with Fox News filmed ahead of the Super Bowl last Sunday (February 9).

“Do you view Vice President JD Vance as your successor, the Republican nominee in 2028?” Trump was asked by Bret Baier.

The president's response was certainly surprising, as he replied: "No, but he's very capable.

"I mean, I don't think that it, you know, I think you have a lot of very capable people. So far, I think he's doing a fantastic job. It’s too early, we're just starting."

While Vance and Trump may be in government together, the latter has not always been a fan of his boss.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

The VP previously said: "I’m a 'never Trump' guy. I never liked him. My god what an idiot. I find him reprehensible."

Vance remained skeptical of his now boss until late 2020, according to text messages obtained by the Washington Post.

Of course, the VP has since done a 180 on his views and is currently on his first foreign trip as Trump's right-hand man.

He is speaking to world leaders at an AI summit in Paris and the Munich Security Conference, where he is set to meet French President Emmanuel Macron.

Speaking of the trip, Vance told Breitbart last week: "At the AI Summit, the main reason I’m going is actually to have some private conversations with the world leaders who are also going to be there.

"I think there’s a lot that some of the leaders who are present at the AI summit could do to, frankly, bring the Russia-Ukraine conflict to a close, help us diplomatically there."
