Marco Rubio ‘on resignation watch’ from Trump administration after midterms disaster
Sources in the US and UK say Secretary of State Marco Rubio may leave Donald Trump’s administration after the Republicans’ midterm losses, potentially to pursue the 2028 Republican presidential nomination. His departure could help him distance himself from the administration’s Iran war, which Vice President J. D. Vance blamed for the party’s defeat.
The article reports that Democrats won control of both the House and Senate and made gains in Republican strongholds, including Kansas and Texas. Rubio is described by sources as a leading potential nominee, with Vance as his main rival; several other cabinet members are also said to be considering leaving. These are expectations reported by unnamed sources, not a confirmed resignation or campaign announcement.
In short
- Rubio may leave the administration to prepare for a 2028 presidential run.
- Sources say he is ahead of Vance as a potential Republican nominee.
- The Iran war is cited as a factor in the midterm losses.
