Marco Rubio ‘Preparing to Resign’ Ahead of a 2028 Bid, Report Says — White House Vehemently Denies - AOL
Sarah Rumpf's Mediaite article on AOL reports The Independent's claim, citing sources in Washington and the UK government, that Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to resign after the GOP's 2026 midterm losses to prepare a 2028 presidential bid against rival JD Vance — a report both the White House and State Department vehemently deny as baseless. Republicans quoted expect Rubio to run early and call him a likely frontrunner; Rubio lost to Trump in the 2016 primary, served in the Senate until 2025, and became Secretary of State after Trump's 2024 re-election.
