One year since the Presidential Election of 2024, and Donald Trump is facing defeats, challenges, losses, and is no longer seen as invulnerable.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a “true believer”, has denounced Trump for abandoning many of the ideas that he promoted in the campaign, and she is not the only one who is starting to rebel against the concept that Donald Trump is invulnerable.
And rumors and gossip is spreading about who will succeed Trump, as the term “lame duck” has started to permeate political discussions.
Of course, Vice President JD Vance is the theoretical successor, and might end up in the White House, as Donald Trump continues to deteriorate mentally, and as his unpredictable behavior multiplies.
But even if that happens, it is not a guarantee that Vance would be the heir of MAGA Republicans, as there are too many ambitious people to claim that Vance is a shoo in for 2028.
Among those who seem likely to compete are:
Eric Trump, the President’s younger son from his first marriage
Secretary of State Marco Rubio
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas
Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky
But there are others as well, including
Governor Glenn Youngkin of Virginia
Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas
Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri
