Mark Halperin on Tuesday’s “Special Report” said Secretary of State Marco Rubio is “one of the stars” of the second Trump administration and believes he would fit well on a 2028 presidential ticket with Vice President J.D. Vance.

BRET BAIER, FOX NEWS: Here’s a few more, uh, Q&As with the, uh, lawmakers and Secretary Rubio. SENATOR: Is it still a policy that they cannot be allowed to enrich at all in Iran? SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO: These are ongoing, I hope to be ongoing negotiations, because the alternative would be far worse, in my view, but may be necessary. But we hope that we can reach an agreement with Iran. Do you support that sanctions bill? Look, it may come to that point. If, in fact, it is clear that the Russians are not interested in a peace deal and they just want to keep fighting a war, it may very well come to that point. SEN. JOHN BARRASSO (R-WY): How do you envision a transition to a non-Hamas security and governance? RUBIO: We’ve, uh, obviously, uh, engaged with our regional partners to come up with the constructs of what that looks like. BAIER: Mark, his stock has gone up, I think, in the president’s eyes, as he’s talked about him, and inside the cabinet. MARK HALPERIN: Yeah, you know, when he was back in the Florida legislature, he was tagged as someone destined for, you know, a national profile, and his presidential campaign disappointed his supporters, but he is just one of the stars of this administration, even if you don’t agree with his policies. His knowledge of policy, his knowledge, his rhetoric, his confidence, and his winning over MAGA. He went a rough spell with MAGA over immigration, and now he is one of the heroes of the movement. And I said earlier today, I’ll say it again, I really do think J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio could end up being a preordained ticket in 2028, unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.
