Trump says Vance is "most likely" his heir apparent
President Trump said Tuesday he sees Vice President JD Vance as an early favorite to serve as his successor. A reporter asked Mr. Trump whether he sees Vance as the "heir apparent to MAGA." The president responded that Vance is "most likely" the leading contender. "It's too early, obviously, to talk about it. But certainly he's doing a great job, and he would be probably favored at this point," the president said during an unrelated executive order-signing ceremony. Mr. Trump also mentioned Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and suggested he's "somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form." And he said the Republican Party has some other "incredible people." The president has singled out Rubio and Vance in the past, but has mostly avoided choosing a favorite. He praised both men in a May interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press" and said he didn't "want to get involved" in picking a leader, though he noted that the vice president would typically "have an advantage." Vance and Rubio are both seen as possible contenders for the 2028 GOP presidential nomination. The two were once vehement Trump critics — with Rubio running against Mr. Trump in the 2016 GOP primaries — but they have repositioned themselves as allies and defenders of the president since then. At least publicly, both men have been coy about their political ambitions. Late last month, Rubio downplayed the possibility of a presidential run in an interview on Fox News' "My View with Lara Trump," which is hosted by the president's daughter-in-law. Rubio said he thinks Vance "would be a great nominee if he decides he wants to do that," adding that he'd be satisfied if secretary of state ended up being "the apex of my career." Meanwhile, Vance told Fox News' "Fox and Friends" in April he isn't focused on 2028, adding: "When we get to that point, I'll talk to the president. We'll figure out what we want to do." Mr. Trump has also repeatedly toyed with the possibility of running for a third term — even though the Constitution forbids presidents from serving for more than two terms. Earlier Tuesday, he told CNBC's "Squawk Box" he "probably" won't run for another term.

Trump says JPMorgan, Bank of America rejected his deposits
Trump's latest comments come as his administration is considering an executive order on 'debanking' that directs banking regulators to address any politically motivated account closures. The Wall Street Journal first reported the policy, which could be unveiled this week. A new White House order would add to other recent Republican efforts to address 'debanking.' Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee advanced a bill earlier this year that would prohibit financial regulators from using 'reputational risk' in their supervision of financial institutions. That would largely enshrine in law what federal banking regulators, at the urging of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, have already done in recent months. And the Trump administration has already announced it plans to 'modernize' the regulations governing banks' obligations under laws to curb money laundering and terrorist financing. A White House spokesperson declined to comment further about the executive order and referred to Trump's comments about the big banks. During the interview, Trump said JPMorgan Chase notified him that they would be closing his longstanding accounts within 20 days, and that Bank of America subsequently refused his business after his first term in office. Trump also claimed, without offering any specific evidence, that the Biden administration had pressured banking regulators to 'do everything you can to destroy Trump.' The Trump Organization earlier this year sued Capital One, accusing the bank of improperly cutting off access to the president's family business in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. The bank denies the allegations and has asked a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit.
