"Rubio will resign and prepare for the presidential race": reports after the defeat - and the denial

Reports in the US and UK claim that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is considering leaving his post after the Republican defeat in the midterm elections, and preparing for the 2028 presidential race. Rubio and the White House have denied the reports.

Reports in the US and UK claim that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is considering leaving his position in the Trump administration, against the backdrop of the Republican defeat in the midterm elections and negative public opinion on the war in Iran, with the aim of running for president in 2028. Rubio denied the reports in an interview with the New York Times, saying that working for Trump until the end of his term "was always the plan." The White House also denied the reports, calling them "fake news." However, sources in Bloomberg and The Independent claim that Rubio is weighing his options, and that his advisors are considering various possibilities. A Republican source said that Rubio is currently the leading candidate, but his association with the administration could hurt his chances. The article also quotes British government officials who see Rubio as a strong candidate. The official denials contradict the reports, and the article leaves the question open.
