Is Marco Rubio The New Heir Apparent To Trump?

 

For months, the conventional wisdom inside Republican circles has been settled and simple: JD Vance is next. The vice president has led 2028 Republican presidential nomination polling by a country mile, averaging nearly 45.5 points in the RealClearPolitics aggregate โ€” more than 30 points ahead of Donald Trump Jr. at 14.8% and Marco Rubio at 14%.

 

And yet, something shifted this week. One press briefing, and the betting markets started hedging.

 

Rubio stepped in as White House press secretary on Tuesday, covering for Karoline Leavitt while sheโ€™s on maternity leave, and delivered what even the skeptics had to acknowledge was a polished, commanding performance. He defended the war in Iran before a press corps not exactly known for its generosity toward administration officials โ€” and walked away with his standing improved. The room, by most accounts, was notably less adversarial than it tends to be when Leavitt or Trump takes the podium. Rubio was fluid and measured, giving the journalists little to sharpen their teeth on.

 

Washington noticed, and Kalshi, one of the leading prediction markets, noticed too.

WHO Inexplicably, Immediately Releases All Passengers on Hantavirus Cruise Ship Without Quarantine

 

Pertinent facts:

 

ยท You have an (alleged) outbreak on a cruise ship currently at sea of a highly lethal virus with a reported kill rate of 40%, as opposed to less than one percent for COVID

 

ยท Said virus has an incubation period of 7-39 days, meaning an infected individual could walk around symptom-free for the better part of a month and a half without exhibiting any outward signs

 

ยท Said outbreak occurred on a structure that can easily logistically be kept out at sea until the incubation period expires. (In fact, the term โ€œquarantineโ€ literally means, in its etymological origins, โ€œperiod a ship suspected of carrying contagious disease is kept in isolation.โ€)

 

Given this fact set, I would love for one of The Expertsโ„ข โ€” slowly, in simple terms that an uncredentialed peasant can digest โ€” to explain the logic from the trusted authorities in their totally lackadaisical announcement that theyโ€™re simply going to offload and then immediately distribute all of the passengers on the cruise ship to all corners of the world after it docks in the Canary Islands.
