President Trump has recently asked aides and allies: Does JD Vance have what it takes to go all the way? He usually answers his own question: He’s not so sure.

Trump’s regular polling of people on whether they prefer his vice president or Secretary of State Marco Rubio has become an early indicator of how power in the Republican Party might pass to the next generation.

In private, Trump has told allies that Vance has never won a tough race without his help. He has brought up the number of vacations Vance has taken. Trump also has zeroed in on moments when Vance might not look the part, including last spring when Vance fumbled Ohio State’s national football championship trophy.

Our White House correspondents interviewed more than a dozen people who are directly familiar with the dynamic between the two men. Tap the link in our bio to read their report about Trump’s relationship with Vance. Photo by @lizfrantz
