Rubio has spoken to White House officials about stepping down, according to Bloomberg.
Rubio’s office denied the report, with State Department spokesperson Dylan Johnson telling Bloomberg, “this is complete and total fake news based on the word of anonymous sources, benefitting a tabloid. The secretary has not discussed leaving his role and he will continue to proudly serve in President Trump’s administration long after this fake news is revealed as yet another baseless hoax.”
Bloomberg’s report follows an earlier report in British outlet The Independent that cited anonymous sources saying Rubio is considering resigning.
Rubio is frequently floated as a potential 2028 presidential contender, and speculation has been raised this week whether he could step down to create distance between himself and President Donald Trump—who is widely blamed for Tuesday’s GOP losses—before announcing a presidential campaign.

Reports indicate Marco Rubio may resign from Trump administration
I’ll believe it when I see it. What a grievous loss it would be
Run as fast as possible to distance yourself from Trump. That is the new mantra.
NOOOOOO!
NOOOOOO!
JD Vance and Thune are ⁸the ones who should resign.
Some of the far left’s little princesses in the America-hating “media” should have checked with Rubio about this. He doesn’t know anything about this.
I wouldn’t blame him if he did. It’s a grueling job, especially since he has four of them. The Travel is immense. The work hours are atrocious. Don’t forget President Trump is very demanding which Rubio has achieved what the president wanted but it’s still hard work. I think two years is about the limit.
It would be a good setup to 2028. Either Rubio or DeSantis should be the next to make a run.
Vance is not ready.
A large quantity of unnamed sources, doesn't mean jack.
REMEMBER....
REMEMBER...
Who is lying who is telling the truth
Does the MSM ever lie,,,,, DOES THE MSM EVER LIE.... this is an operation to destroy us... don’t be like a forgetful lib.
CD
Vance has done all that Trump has asked him to do.
Why should Vance resign?
For speaking the truth about why Repubs lost the election?
This situation is reminiscent of the relationship between Longstreet and Lee after Gettysburg. Longstreet argued futiley against the great general’s decision to launch Pickett’s charrge against the elevated Union center. The defeat sealed the fate of the Confederacy. Afterwards Lee was so troubled he transferred Longstreet and hos corp to Tennessee. Longstreet soldiered on and never publicly criticized Lee while the war raged. Suspect Vance and Rubio feel the same. They argued against the American involvement in this disasterous Iran war that resulted in thr destruction of Trump’s regime. They continue to serve but remain conflicted and frustrated. Hopefully they will do what they can to mitigate the damage and begin a revival.
What has been “disastrous” with the long over due military operation in the Gulf and the beating down of the God Damned islamic scum that have been killing their own and multitudes of others with their backing?....Disgusting that so many here have just bailed on a great president that we have. This past election was rigged and now we deal with muzzies /trannies/socialists....all because F in Thune blocked anything positive for America in the senate.
I agree with you.
I will never meet either man, the president or JD, to know what’s in their mind, but somehow, I think the president has given Vance his OK to speak out right now, and establish himself as his own man to some degree.
No more fledgling Apprentice as your primary public persona.
I say that, b/c Vance has become so very bold and unambiguous in his remarks. I say this break with Trump’s protocol has been discussed between the two of them. It’s what smart politicians will often do behind the scenes.
He’s a snake. The Iran MOU Vance negotiated in Pakistan was a disaster.
How is Marco going to distance himself from the pro-amnesty, pro-illegals,Marco?
“Let’s be clear. Nobody is talking about preventing the legalization. The legalization is going to happen. That means the following will happen: First comes the legalization. Then come the measures to secure the border. And then comes the process of permanent residence.” He added: “It is not conditional. The legalization is not conditional.” Marco Rubio, June 9, 2013.
“I wish we didn’t have 8 or 12 million people here that are undocumented, but we do, and we have to deal with it. But we have to deal with it in a way that’s compassionate but also responsible.” Marco Rubio, January 16, 2013.
In 2018, Marco Rubio voted for the Secure And Succeed Act ( Sponsored by Sen. Chuck Grassley) which would have given 1,800,000 illegals a “path to citizenship.”
He won’t resign. Self interest, if nothing else - his political career would be over.
Rubio knows of the corruption in Donnie’s WH and he is racing to the exit before the hearings start.
Donnie and his sons massive inside trading scheme
and REFUSING a BLIND TRUST while Donnie’s sons trading in BIG OIL stock while Donnie is bombing away and US troops are dying is going to be awful for the GOP 2028 chances unless the GOP tells Donnie to resign now.
Donnie’s son wedding being paid for by Putin’s pals.
The Dems will bring up the two crooked Donnie NYC realtors with no State Dept. Experience acting as Donnie negotiators with Russia and Iran. With one of these sleazy operators named Witkoff calling the KGB Brutal Butcher Putin a great humanitarian.
The other envoy was Donnnie son in law who is involved in a bribery scandal in Albania along with Ivanka.
Rubio cannot run for President for another decade after the sleazy wears off from the Donnie disaster WH admin.
WE need a woman like Marcia Blackburn or Sarah Huckabee to lead the GOP 2028 ticket.
A fresh new start.
True.
Rubio was the one of the 8 senators pushing Pres BUSH for amnesty.
