Secretary of State Marco Rubio has flatly denied claims that he's planning an early exit from the Trump administration, telling The New York Times he fully intends to serve out the remainder of President Donald Trump's term, according to France 24.
The denial comes after speculation ramped up following Republican losses in the recent midterm elections, with chatter suggesting Rubio might step back to focus on a potential 2028 presidential run. Rubio's comments were aimed directly at shutting down those reports.
While France 24 notes the speculation has been fueled partly by broader talk about the shape of a post-Trump Republican field, Rubio's statement makes clear he is not treating his current post as a stepping stone he's ready to leave anytime soon.
