AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
U.S. President Donald Trump's succession plan could be under threat as candidates potentially step into the ring to become the Republican presidential nominee in 2028.
Trump has previously floated Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as two potential successors for when he leaves office, but now other candidates might be expressing an interest in the role, and divisions in the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement mean it may be difficult for Trump to rally his supporters around whoever he favors.
