Rubio denies rumors of leaving Trump administration

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied media reports that he plans to leave the Trump administration, stating his intention to serve until the end of President Donald Trump's term. He declined to answer questions about his political future. Rubio said he does not know the source of the rumors about his departure and reiterated that working for Trump through the full term was always his plan. He also refused to comment on a potential 2028 presidential run but expressed support for Vice President JD Vance if he were to run. The denial follows reports that Trump's inner circle discussed replacing Rubio after the midterm elections. Rubio also addressed the Iran war's political fallout, praising Trump's leadership as necessary despite unpopularity, while avoiding direct comment on Vance's assessment of the conflict's impact on Republican losses.
