## Summary

Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state and national security adviser, has denied reports that he plans to leave President Donald Trump’s administration. The speculation follows Republican losses in the midterm elections and has drawn attention because Rubio is seen as a possible contender in the 2028 presidential race.

Rubio told The New York Times it had always been his plan to serve until Trump’s term ends, and said he would no longer discuss 2028. Bloomberg reported he had discussed stepping down with White House officials, who asked him to stay; the State Department called that report fabricated. Rubio’s office also rejected a report that he was preparing a presidential campaign, while Rubio has said he would support Vice-President JD Vance if Vance ran.
