Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Trump on Tuesday if his vice president is “the heir apparent to MAGA,” and the president suggested that he would be a top contender. He also said that there are other potential candidates, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

MAGA's growing independence as a political force is an early warning to the GOP's next leader about the limits — and dangers — of inheriting a populist juggernaut. Why it matters: Even when President Trump is out of sync with MAGA — like on Jeffrey Epstein — he can still bring supporters to heel.
