Rubio’s next move? Lawyers eye speech of 'visionary' leader for 2028 clues after GOP’s midterm wipeout
Fox News Digital reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will give his first major speech apart from his diplomatic duties — a roughly 45-minute Barbara Olson Memorial Lecture at the Federalist Society's National Lawyers Convention — days after Republicans lost a net 41 House and eight Senate seats. Attendees like Rachel Paulose and Isaiah McKinney say they will watch for hints of Rubio's 2028 ambitions, a possible Republican path forward, and how he addresses the Iran war's electoral impact, with Trump having previously floated a Vance-Rubio ticket.
