Rubio denies plans to resign for 2028 presidential run

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied to The New York Times that he plans to leave his post, following the Republican Party's defeat in the U.S. midterm elections. He is considered a potential candidate for the 2028 presidential race. Rubio, who also serves as President Donald Trump's national security advisor, stated, "It has always been my intention" to work for Trump until the end of his term, adding, "I'm not going to talk about 2028 anymore." This denial comes after Bloomberg News reported he was evaluating leaving the government. Days before Tuesday's elections, Rubio made an unusual appearance at a rally with Trump, speaking to a cheering crowd. The State Department has denied the resignation rumors, and White House officials reportedly asked him to stay.
