Summary
Trump said he may stay out of the 2028 Republican primary, telling CBS' "60 Minutes" he would "probably" not endorse and might be better off not getting involved.
The comment came days after Republicans lost both the House and Senate in the midterms, a setback that Trump paired with praise for the party's "unbelievable bench" of potential successors.
JD Vance still enters the early race as the perceived frontrunner, but the midterm drubbing has turned what many saw as a likely coronation into a more open contest.
Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis are already shaping that debate with post-election positioning, even as some publicly deny active 2028 planning.
The emerging field points to a broader fight over the GOP's direction in a possible post-Trump era, from MAGA populism to a return to more traditional conservatism.
