Rubio denies report he plans to resign from Trump cabinet

cnnbrasil.com.br (Portuguese) — November 6, 2026 at 03:01 AM UTC

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly considering resigning from the Trump administration, according to The Independent, with sources saying he plans to seek the Republican nomination for the 2028 presidential election. The White House denies the report. The report cites sources in the US and UK claiming Rubio's potential departure predates the midterm elections, which saw Democrats regain control of Congress. Rubio would face Vice President JD Vance as his main rival for the nomination, and allies say he cannot run while serving as Secretary of State. Rubio has denied the resignation reports, telling the New York Times he plans to stay "until the end." The Independent claims Rubio is one of five cabinet members preparing to leave amid fallout from the midterm losses, with some suggesting he may stay to project stability if Trump reacts aggressively.
