Trump’s Influence Looms as Republicans Begin Looking Towards 2028
Donald Trump remains the dominant figure in the Republican Party as party leaders gather ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections. Yet attention is increasingly turning to who could lead the GOP when his presidency ends. Vice President JD Vance is seen as a leading contender to inherit Trump’s MAGA coalition. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Senator Ted Cruz are also among Republicans who may seek the party’s 2028 presidential nomination. The contest could determine the future of Trump’s America First agenda on immigration, tariffs, trade and foreign policy. A weak Republican showing in the midterms may intensify the struggle for control of the party. Can JD Vance unite Trump’s supporters behind him, or will another Republican emerge as the party’s next leader?
