- Rubio will not discuss the 2028 race.

## Summary

Marco Rubio has denied reports that he is considering leaving the Trump administration, saying it has always been his plan to serve until President Donald Trump’s term ends. The denial comes after Republican losses in the midterm elections renewed attention on Rubio’s political future and his possible place in the 2028 presidential race.

Bloomberg reported that Rubio had discussed stepping down with White House officials, who asked him to stay; the State Department called the report “totally made up”. Rubio also rejected questions about 2028, while a State Department official described a separate report that he planned to seek the Republican nomination as “completely baseless fake news”. Rubio has previously said he would support Vice-President JD Vance if Vance ran for president.
