Megyn Kelly Reveals 'Dream Ticket' for 2028 Republican Nomination
Conservative media personality Megyn Kelly shared her preference for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination and discussed potential candidates who could succeed Donald Trump within the party.
Kelly’s Pick for Republican Nomination
While speaking to the Daily Mail during the launch of The Megyn Kelly Channel on Sirius XM, Kelly dismissed speculation about a possible Trump third term. Instead, she expressed confidence in two prominent Republicans:
- JD Vance as the presidential nominee
- Marco Rubio as his running mate
“I think it's going to be JD Vance. And my prayer is that his running mate is Marco Rubio. I think they'll clean up, those two together. I think that's a dream ticket.”
Trump’s Acknowledgment of Vance and Rubio
Kelly highlighted that Donald Trump has also mentioned Marco Rubio when asked about his preferred successors, indicating support for the potential Vance-Rubio ticket.
“Trump, interestingly, always mentions Marco when somebody asks him who's the heir apparent, who's going to be the next president? They always say, 'Is it JD, is it JD?' and he always says, 'JD is great, and Marco, and Marco.'”
Kelly added that Trump seemed to be making space for Rubio in the future Republican leadership, noting that Trump recently endorsed the idea of a joint ticket between Vance and Rubio.
“So, you know, it's interesting, Trump's definitely making room for Marco. And then last week, he explicitly said they'd be great on a joint ticket.”
