- On Thursday, Rubio posted on X that he will not be a candidate for either role and said his focus must remain on global events.
- He currently serves as secretary of state and holds acting roles overseeing national security, the National Archives, and USAID.
- Rubio is a longtime Dolphins fan with personal ties to the franchise, and a recent photo showed him watching the University of Miami game at Mar-a-Lago with Pete Hegseth.
- Media coverage has cast the episode as light political-sports commentary, with some unconfirmed speculation linking Miami to John Harbaugh.
