Donald Trump may appear to be running an Apprentice-style contest to select his successor but a new poll reveals that there is only one name in the frame for voters.
JD Vance, the vice-president, is favoured by 46 per cent of Republicans to become the party’s 2028 nominee, according to a survey by JL Partners.
Marco Rubio, Mr Trump’s secretary of state, is the preferred pick of just six per cent, behind Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida on eight per cent, and Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur, on seven.

I don't believe our vice-president is particularly presidential.
Vance has already given the voters a chance, and lost in the primary.

More likely, the Trump din drowns out Republicans that might otherwise get noticed.
So perhaps VP JD polls ahead out of name recognition, or perhaps title recognition (some of those polled may have heard of "vice-president" even if they don't know what it means).

Meanwhile
The Dems. are still squabbling over Biden. Ideologically Democrats aren't organized enough to form a circular firing-squad. Give them time.

I'm sure that they'll have figured it out by the time of the next election. After all, they're past masters at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Sir Chaz Barkley likes Maryland Governor Wes Moore.

Governor of Maryland since 2023

Westley Watende Omari Moore (born October 15, 1978) is an American politician, businessman, author, and veteran, serving as the 63rd governor of Maryland since 2023.
Moore was born in Maryland and raised primarily in New York. He graduated from Johns Hopkins University and received a master's degree from Wolfson College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar. After several years in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve, he became an investment banker in New York. Between 2010 and 2015, Moore published five books, including a young-adult novel. He served as CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation from 2017 to 2021. Moore authored The Other Wes Moore and The Work. He also hosted Beyond Belief on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), and was executive producer and a writer for Coming Back with Wes Moore on PBS.
Moore is a member of the Democratic Party. He won the 2022 Maryland gubernatorial election, becoming Maryland's first African-American governor and the third African-American person elected governor of any U.S. state. More from Wikipedia

From what very little I've seen of Governor Moore, what impressed me about him is not that he simply presses his own agenda the way Vance does.
Instead Moore seems more Lincoln-like, enough political s a v v y to change (persuade) minds, instead of merely butting heads. BUT !
Next election day is years away, and "overnight is an eternity in politics".

We'll all just have to take a 50mg chill pill and see ¿Qué pasa?

Rock the weekend !

PS
Omari, you grin like a ghoul. Maybe you should rock two weekends.

PPS
Any idea when President Trump will stroke out?
