Wednesday, 21 May 2025 06:38 AM EDT

President Donald Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. said in Qatar on Wednesday that he could maybe run for president one day, adding "that calling is there."

"So the answer is I don't know, maybe one day. You know, that calling is there. I'll always be very active in terms of being a vocal proponent of these things. I think my father has truly changed the Republican Party," he said, speaking at the Qatar Economic Forum.

When asked by the panel moderator if he would run and "pick up the reins" after his father leaves office, his initial reaction was: "Here we go. Well... oh boy," to faint applause from the audience, adding, "it's an honor to be asked and an honor to see that some people are okay with it."

Speaking alongside 1789 Capital founder Omeed Malik, Trump, 47, joked that the people clapping were "the couple of people we know."

Polls have show Don Jr. holding strong support in the Republican Party.

A Zogby poll released in late April showed Don Jr. leading the GOP field for the 2028 presidential election.

A January poll had the young Trump tied with J.D. Vance at 30% among Republican voters. Don Jr. did even better with younger Republican voters, winning by 44%.

Asked about the polls earlier this year, Don Jr. told the Hill, “Oh, God. No, no, no, don’t get me into trouble.”

“We have to worry about this. Now, we have to govern. We have to win, we have to fight. We have to get it done, we have to deliver on our promises,” Trump Jr. said.
