The MAGA world would love nothing more than for another Trump family member to pick up where President Donald Trump leaves off at the end of his second term in 2028.
According to The Guardian, Eric Trump, 41, could possibly be that person. The outlet reported that Eric Trump recently suggested that running in the next presidential election could be an "easy" road should he choose to pursue it.
The president's son has been a vocal advocate for his father and the Trump family and is currently co-executive vice-president of the Trump Organization. He holds a great deal of influence over his father's empire and has the same connections.
Many have suggested that Donald Trump Jr. would be the next Trump to try to hold the White House, though he's not been as forthcoming with his thoughts on actually running.
Eric Trump revealed his thoughts on the matter during a recent interview with the Finacial Times, noting that there would be many deep considerations before he would choose to campaign and essentially upend his family's life.
"The real question is: ‘Do you want to drag other members of your family into it?… Would I want my kids to live the same experience over the last decade that I’ve lived?'" Trump told the outlet.
Eric Trump made it clear that he believes his father's last name could carry him to the White House but noted that he believes other Trump family members could have the same pathway if they wanted it.
"You know, if the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one, meaning, I think I could do it," the middle Trump son added. "And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too."
The Guardian noted:
Unlike his other siblings, Donald Jr and Ivanka Trump, the 41-year-old has mostly stayed away from politics, focusing instead on running the family business since his father entered the Oval Office in 2017.
However, he seems to have kept one eye on politics this whole time, saying he found himself “wholly unimpressed by half the politicians” he sees and that he could do the job “very effectively”.
The next presidential election will be stocked full of frontrunners, including Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, among others.
When asked if the 2024 election would go down as the last one with a Trump on the ballot, Trump dropped a major hint in the eyes of some .
"I don’t know … Time will tell. But there’s more people than just me," he said.
He added, "The question is, do you want to do it? And do you want to subject the people that you love to the brutality of this system? And I’m not sure if I can answer that question yet."
Only time will tell if Eric Trump -- or another Trump family member -- goes down that path.
