Likely Vance Backers<\/h2>\n

Vance would hope to count on the support of the world\u2019s wealthiest man and only trillionaire, Elon Musk<\/u><\/strong>, whose $1.2 trillion estimated net worth dwarfs all other fortunes on the planet. Musk predicted at a November gathering of former officials in his Department of Government Efficiency a \u201cgreat 12-year span\u201d consisting of Trump\u2019s last term and two with Vance in the White House, Politico reported<\/u>, citing unnamed sources familiar with the comments. The fundraising group Vance founded in 2019, the Rockbridge Network, has also kept billionaires in Vance\u2019s orbit, with the Times noting billionaires Cameron<\/u><\/strong> and <\/strong>Tyler Winklevoss<\/u><\/strong> ($2.3 billion each) were in attendance at a recent conference for the group in Nashville, Tennessee. Hedge fund magnate Paul Singer<\/u><\/strong>(estimated net worth $6.7 billion)\u2014who backed Rubio in 2015 and was previously critical of Vance\u2014contributed the maximum amount, $443,000, to the RNC at Vance\u2019s request and speaks regularly to the vice president, according to the Times, citing unnamed sources close to both of them. Vance has hosted RNC fundraising events headlined or attended by tech billionaires, including Joe Lonsdale<\/u><\/strong> ($2.7 billion)<\/strong> and Sergey Brin<\/u><\/strong>($277.6 billion). Vance has maintained his close relationship with his former employer, Peter Thiel<\/u><\/strong> ($27.6 billion)<\/strong>, who is largely credited for shepherding Vance\u2019s rise in politics. Thiel gave $15 million to a pro-Vance super PAC in 2022, the Times reported, and he led a campaign among tech executives to lobby Trump to pick Vance as his running mate, according to the Washington Post<\/u>. During his time as vice president, Vance has reportedly built relationships with billionaires Jeff Yass<\/u><\/strong> ($67.4 billion), Stephen A. Schwarzman<\/u><\/strong> ($40.8 billion), Miriam Adelson<\/u><\/strong> ($34.4 billion) and John Paulson<\/u><\/strong> ($4 billion), according to the Times. <\/p>\n

Likely Rubio Backers<\/h2>\n

During the 2016 presidential election, Rubio had support from Wall Street and establishment donors, including bOracle\u2019s Larry Ellison<\/u><\/strong>($231.6 billion), Citadel\u2019s Ken Griffin<\/u><\/strong>($51.6 billion) and car dealer Norman Braman<\/u><\/strong> ($3.9 billion). When Trump asked a group of about 25 GOP donors, including billionaire Patriots owner Robert Kraft<\/u><\/strong> ($13.8 billion) and Georgia GOP gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson<\/u><\/strong> ($1 billion), at a dinner in February at Mar-a-Lago about who they\u2019d prefer in 2028, \u201cit was almost unanimous for Marco,\u201d an unnamed source told NBC<\/u>. Another unnamed attendee said the group was more \u201cevenly split.\u201d A Trump official noted to the outlet that \u201cthe Mar-a-Lago crew are not JD people.\u201d Rupert Murdoch<\/u><\/strong> ($22.2 billion) reportedly seemed to prefer Rubio when Trump asked him at a dinner last year to compare the two. He called Rubio \u201cbrilliant\u201d and said Vance has \u201cthe potential to be great,\u201d according to an excerpt from reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan\u2019s \u201cRegime Change\u201d obtained by Axios<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Crucial Quote<\/h2>\n

\u201cIn the vice president\u2019s case, he is being mentioned for future office, and so people want to be able to start building that relationship,\u201d RNC Chair Joe Gruters told the Times, adding that Vance \u201chas probably been the most successful finance chairman in the history of the party.\u201d<\/p>\n

What To Watch For<\/h2>\n

Both Rubio and Vance have played major roles in the Iran war, with Vance serving as the chief negotiator with mediators and Rubio among the key decision-making team. Both could be praised for ending the war or blamed if the peace deal the U.S. and Iran signed this week falls apart.<\/p>\n

Big Number<\/h2>\n

36%. That\u2019s the share of likely GOP primary voters in a recent Emerson College poll<\/u> who said they prefer Vance as the 2028 Republican presidential nominee, compared to 35% who said they\u2019d back Rubio. Vance\u2019s support has plummeted from 52% in February, before the war, while Rubio\u2019s has increased from 20%.<\/p>\n

Key Background<\/h2>\n

Neither Vance nor Rubio have ruled out a presidential run, though Rubio has said he would support Vance if he ran. Vance said last week in an interview with CBS he would discuss a potential run with his wife, Usha, after the midterms. \u201cPeople sort of assume that I\u2019m sitting around, figuring out whether I\u2019m gonna run for president . . . the way that I make decisions is that I try not to make them until I absolutely must.\u201d Vance said he believes Trump would be \u201cvery supportive of anything that I ultimately decide to do.\u201d <\/p>\n
