In a recent development, Donald Trump‘s oldest son Donald Trump Jr. has voiced his apprehensions about the prospect of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) serving as his father’s running mate in the upcoming election.
Trump Jr. expressed these concerns in his video podcast Triggered and stated that Rubio’s establishment ties could potentially lead to a speedy impeachment of the elder Trump.
In a live Q&A session, a submitted question claimed that “Rubio guarantees another impeachment,” to which Trump Jr. readily agreed. He argued that if Rubio were to become the vice president, the impeachment process could be initiated immediately after the inauguration.
“By the time my father’s hand moves off in the swearing-in process,” he said. “12 p.m. January 20, the second it goes off, impeachment!”
Trump Jr. further emphasized the importance of having someone from outside the establishment to provide additional protection against the political establishment and suggested that Rubio’s background may not align with this preference.
The speculation around Trump’s vice presidential pick has been extensive and reports indicate that the shortlist includes Rubio, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), and Gov. Doug Burgum (R-North Dakota). Other names, such as Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-New York) and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Florida) have also been mentioned in the past few months.
Rubio’s potential inclusion on the ticket is particularly noteworthy, given the history of animosity between him and the former president in the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump had famously referred to Rubio as “little Marco,” and their political rivalry remained steadfast, even as Rubio ultimately aligned himself with the Republican party and defended Trump from various attacks.
Rubio recently defended the former president and convicted felon from critiques related to the Heritage Foundation’s controversial “Project 2025” manifesto and downplayed Trump’s connection to the document.
According to one Trump adviser, the decision on the vice presidential pick is expected to be revealed to the public by next Monday.
