Per The Hill:

Vice President JD Vance is the favorite to earn the Republican nomination for president in 2028, according to a new straw poll taken at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday.

Vance earned support from about 53 percent of attendees who participated in the presidential preference poll at the annual gathering in Grapevine, Texas, according to New York Times reporter Kellen Browning.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio came in second with 35 percent, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, tied at 2 percent for a distant third place.

Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Rand Paul (Ky.), Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott each got 1 percent. The other two contenders on the list got no support.

The poll comes after The Washington Post reported Vance has not made up his mind whether he will run in 2028, citing that he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, are expecting their fourth child in the coming months.

President Trump has yet to endorse a potential successor.

Throughout the last several months, Trump has floated both Vance and Rubio’s names as potential Republican presidential nominees.
