Rubio Pushes Back on Reports Claiming He Plans to Resign for 2028 Run
The administration called the reports baseless as Bloomberg said no departure decision or timetable had been set.
- 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.
