There are several candidates.
The defeat of the Republican Party in the US midterm elections caused a wave of mutual accusations, primarily aimed at President Donald Trump, revealed deep disagreements within the party, and intensified the struggle for the role of his political successor in the 2028 elections, writes Bloomberg.
Potential successors to Donald Trump, as noted in the publication, have begun to distance themselves from his policies and criticize the administration's decisions. After a decade of Trump's dominance, a new generation of Republicans is trying to change the party's political course.
Thus, Vice President J.D. Vance, considered the leading contender for the Republican nomination, linked the election defeat to the war against Iran, the rising cost of living, and US relations with Israel. In his assessment, the war cost Republicans control of the Senate for at least six years.
However, Bloomberg notes, it will be difficult for Vance to distance himself from Trump, as he himself is part of his administration.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who previously downplayed his interest in participating in the 2028 presidential elections, has also begun to position himself as the "legitimate heir" to the Republican Party. He called the voting results an "extinction-level event" for Republicans and demanded a ban on stock trading for members of Congress and executive branch officials.
Bloomberg interprets this as an indirect jab at Trump, who, according to financial reports, conducted tens of thousands of securities transactions in his first year of presidency.
Another potential candidate — Senator Ted Cruz — called the election results a historic defeat, caused by Americans' dissatisfaction with customs duties, the war in the Middle East, and the uncontrolled construction of data centers.
Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney also criticized Trump's tariff policy, "impulsive" war, and "obvious corruption."
