Chaos in the White House after defeat: Rubio may resign to run for President

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio may leave Donald Trump's administration to pave the way for a presidential run in the 2028 elections. The news is reported by the British newspaper "The Independent", which cites sources close to the Republican Party and the British government.

According to the report, Rubio is considering leaving office to run for the Republican presidential nomination in November 2028. He also serves as National Security Advisor in the White House.

Rumors of his resignation have increased after the Republicans' defeat in the midterm elections, where Democrats gained ground in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

According to sources cited by "The Independent", Rubio is among four or five Trump administration officials who could leave after the poor electoral result.

One of the reasons cited is the need to politically distance oneself from the war with Iran and the US administration's responsibility for the conflict.

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance has linked the Republicans' loss to the war in Iran, stating that the conflict was one of the main reasons for the negative result in the election.

Rubio and Vance in the race for the White House? 

Republican sources, quoted by the British newspaper, consider Rubio a possible candidate for the party's presidential nomination in 2028, while also mentioning JD Vance as another important name in this race.

However, Rubio himself has previously denied that he has a concrete plan to run, stating that he is fully focused on his government duties.

The White House and the State Department react 

The report has sparked reactions from the US administration. The White House and the State Department have categorically denied claims of a possible departure for Rubio.

White House spokesman Davis Ingle called the article a spread of unfounded conspiracy theories, while the State Department called the report fake news, based on fabricated anonymous sources.

So far, there has been no official announcement about Marco Rubio's resignation or his candidacy in the 2028 presidential election.
