Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro is warning that a widely speculated 2028 presidential contest between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance could backfire on the secretary.
In a podcast interview with host Patrick Bet-David released on Wednesday, Shapiro cast doubt that Rubio would launch a presidential bid, citing the secretary's history as a "very risk-averse politician."
"If you're Marco and you're … gaming out what the next few years look like for you, here are your choices: Run against JD, you lose, you're done," Shapiro said.
"You run against JD, you win, it's a rough election cycle anyway because the president's riding in the 30s and the country's in the mood for 'something new' and you lose, you're done," Shapiro continued. "You don't run, JD may pick you as his VP candidate, JD loses, you're next. JD does not pick you and JD loses, you're also next."
The conservative commentator said that these considerations suggest "Rubio will not run out of risk aversion" and that he would put his "money on Vance" in this race.
