In Donald Trump's second term, there's basically only like five guys who really matter.
Steve Wyckoff, Scott Besson, Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, and J.D.
Vance.
And those last two, they really matter, considering they're the ones who best represent Trump's beliefs.
And they're basically the only Republicans who are floated for president in 2028. Vance is out with a new book recently.
And he's walked back that cat lady comment,
making it pretty clear that he's planning to run for president come next year.
But considering how much of Trump's second term has Marco Rubio's fingerprints all over it,
who's really the heir apparent to the throne of Donald Trump?
And what does that version of MAGA look like?
