Rubio Denies Report He Plans to Leave Trump Administration

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is considering resigning from President Donald Trump's administration following the Republican Party's crushing election defeat, according to Bloomberg, citing anonymous sources. The White House reportedly wants him to stay. Rubio's office immediately denied the report, with spokesperson Dylan Johnson calling it "completely baseless fake news" and stating the minister has not discussed leaving and will continue serving proudly. The denial follows similar anonymous-source claims from The Independent. Rubio is seen as a strong contender for the 2028 presidential race, with speculation he might distance himself from Trump before announcing his candidacy. Trump faces widespread blame for Tuesday's election losses, and experts suggest Rubio may strategically separate himself from the president's political brand.
