Rubio Weighs Resignation to Eye 2028 Presidential Run

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly considering resigning to pursue a potential 2028 presidential run, according to anonymous Republican and British government sources cited by The Independent. The White House and State Department have denied the reports as baseless. Rubio allegedly seeks to distance himself from the Trump administration's unpopular policies, particularly the Iran war, which Republicans blame for losing control of both congressional chambers in Wednesday's election. Anonymous advisors told Bloomberg he is weighing his options but has made no final decision, while Vice President JD Vance is expected to be his strongest rival for the nomination. Rubio has not officially declared a presidential bid, stating in September he had no current plans to run. The State Department dismissed the resignation claims as "totally fake news," and Rubio has reportedly been urged by White House officials to stay in his post.
