Rubio Pushes Back on Reports Claiming He Plans to Resign for 2028 Run
The State Department and White House called the reports baseless as Rubio said he plans to serve through the end of Trump’s term.
- Marco Rubio is on resignation watch to launch a 2028 presidential bid, with insiders suggesting the move follows midterm results where Republicans lost the House and Senate.
- After midterm losses in Republican strongholds Kansas and Texas, Rubio is one of up to five cabinet members reportedly preparing to leave the administration in the aftermath of the humiliation.
- While Vice President JD Vance remains his primary rival, Rubio has been sidelined on foreign policy in favor of Trump and has adopted a "quieter role" regarding Iran despite leading U.S. foreign policy.
- White House spokesperson Davis Ingle dismissed reports as "baseless, false conspiracy theories," insisting the administration remains united, while sources told The Independent that Rubio is "brilliantly intelligent."
- Rubio previously told reporters in September he had "no plans at this time" for a bid, remaining "100 per cent focused" on his duties, though insiders expect him to exit after the midterms.
