Trump says MAGA can exist without him: 'Basically common sense'

President Donald Trump this week suggested that his MAGA movement could continue past his presidency and survive without his leadership because the movement was predicated on "common sense."

Trump made the remarks in an interview with "60 Minutes," which also saw him opine on potential successors. When pressed on alternatives to Vice President JD Vance, Trump mentioned Secretary of State Marco Rubio and said there were some "excellent" senators he could consider.

Talk of a successor to Trump has accelerated in the wake of the midterms, but no major candidates have entered the field yet.

As of press time, however, no major figure has entered the Republican primary.
