Political broadcaster Megyn Kelly today named Senator J.D. Vance and Senator Marco Rubio as her preferred Republican team for the 2028 presidential election, stating she believes Vance should lead while Rubio serves as his running mate. Kelly dismissed any notion of former President Donald Trump returning to the top of the ticket, saying she doesn’t expect him to be the nominee.
She cited the need for unity and long-term strategy within the GOP, suggesting that Vance’s populist appeal paired with Rubio’s experience could create a strong platform. Kelly described the pairing as a “dream ticket” that could rebuild the party’s appeal nationwide ahead of the next election cycle.
