Republican voters appear to be sending a message that Washington’s political class may not want to hear: the race to become Donald Trump’s eventual successor is far from settled.
While many Republican insiders have increasingly treated Vice President JD Vance as the obvious heir to Trump’s political movement, a recent straw poll gives Secretary of State Marco Rubio a commanding lead among the respondents surveyed.
According to the figures cited in the original report, The Western Journal’s weekly straw poll placed Rubio at 50.3 percent, marking a 2.2-point increase from the previous week. Vance followed at 24.4 percent.
Do you want to know who I think is most qualified or most electable. Since the object is to win I pick the most electable, which is Rubio.
