Rubio Rejects Reports He Will Quit as Secretary of State

The denials follow media stories that tied a possible exit to a 2028 presidential bid, coming after heavy Republican losses in the midterms.

US-Außenminister Marco Rubio hat Pläne für einen Rücktritt für eine Präsidentschaftskandidatur bestritten. Es sei "immer mein Plan gewesen", bis zum Ende der Amtszeit von US-Präsident Trump für ihn zu arbeiten, sagte er der "New York Times".

Overview

  • The reports surfaced two days after the midterms, when several outlets said Rubio was weighing a resignation to prepare for a possible 2028 presidential campaign.
  • The State Department publicly dismissed the rumors, with a department press representative posting on X that the story was false and fabricated.
  • Marco Rubio told the New York Times he does not know where the reports came from, said "I love the work I do," and declined to comment on any 2028 plans.
  • Bloomberg reported that Rubio had discussed leaving with White House staff and was asked to stay, a claim the State Department spokesman called completely unfounded.
  • Rubio is a recurring name in GOP succession talk alongside Vice President JD Vance, and the speculation could shape early 2028 positioning as President Trump’s second term runs through January 2029.
