"Trump and Putin inquired about their potential replacements, listing anywhere from 10 to 20 individuals as possibilities."
Trump and Putin, both leaders, have babbled about potential successors, hinting at who might fill their prominent roles after their terms. Trump, who sparked a commotion with suggestions of a third term, now seems to have done a u-turn. In an interview with NBC, he proclaimed, "I will be president for a total of eight years, two terms. I've always considered that very important." Trump dismissed the idea of running for a third term, stating, "I plan to serve four fantastic years and pass it on to someone else, ideally a great Republican."
The "great Republican" Trump mentioned could potentially be Secretary of State Marco Rubio or Vice President Mike Pence, who Trump called a "fantastic, brilliant guy." However, Trump wasn't short of names, mentioning he could name "ten-fifteen-twenty people right now." Trump also took a jab at Biden and the Democratic leadership crisis while dismissing any official meetings about a third term.
On the other hand, Putin admitted in a conversation with Pavel Zarubin from VGTRK that he thinks about successors constantly. Putin emphasized the importance of the Russian people's trust, stating, "I think there should be a person, or better yet, several people, so the people have a choice, who could gain this trust from the citizens of the country." Trump Jr., Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Doug Burgum, Kevin Warsh, Kevin Hassett, Christopher Waller, and Scott Bessent are some of the names floating around as potential successors for Trump's presidency and the Federal Reserve Chair position, respectively. Putin, on the other hand, hasn't publicly named any potential successors, with discussions focusing more on his geopolitical ambitions, particularly regarding Ukraine and neighboring regions.
