The Daily Mail reports on an account of a private dinner held last October for billionaires, where Rupert Murdoch addressed questions that included remarks attributed to Donald Trump. According to the report, Murdoch is said to have heard one of Trump’s recurring questions during the event: whether Murdoch preferred JD Vance or Marco Rubio. The article frames the exchange as Trump effectively “forcing” Vance to listen to Murdoch deliver a “verdict,” but it does not present corroborating details from additional sources within the provided text. The core claim is that the dinner conversation involved a comparison between Vance and Rubio, with Murdoch’s answer forming the central point of attention. The report does not specify the exact wording of Murdoch’s response, the context for why Vance was present, or what factors informed the preference cited. The information, as provided, centers on the reported interpersonal exchange among political figures and Murdoch at a high-profile private gathering, rather than on broader policy or political events.
