Marco Rubio denies exit plans, vows to serve Trump’s full second term
Nepal News ^ | November 6, 2026

WASHINGTON DC: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has dismissed reports suggesting that he is considering leaving the Trump administration following the Republican Party’s setbacks in the midterm elections, insisting that completing President Donald Trump’s second term has always been his plan.

In an interview with The New York Times, Rubio rejected speculation that he might step down to prepare for a 2028 presidential campaign, clarifying his long-term professional intentions within the executive branch.

“Working for President Trump for the duration of his second term has always been my plan,” Rubio said.

“I don’t know where these things come from, to be honest with you,” he added, addressing widespread rumours regarding his possible departure.

In response to the rumours, officials from both the White House and the Department of State firmly refuted the claims.

White House spokesperson Beni Rae Harmony characterised the stories as a fabricated hoax pushed by anonymous sources, emphasising that Rubio remains a committed supporter of Trump and the MAGA movement.

Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson also called the reports completely baseless fake news.

Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.

I'm hoping that this is a fake story.

Rubio has been a total standout and leaving would be a huge loss.

The problem is he is going to be tied at the hip with Trump, and if that ship sinks, he’s going down with it.

This is completely baseless fake news from made-up anonymous "sources."

It is unsurprising that this completely fabricated hoax is being peddled by @AndrewFeinberg — who recently worked for a Russian state-owned media outlet.

We look forward to revisiting this "report" in the coming weeks to celebrate yet another humiliating own goal by The Independent.— Dylan Johnson (@ASDylanJohnson) November 5, 2026

No the problem is the election will be stolen just like the recent one. It doesn’t matter who he’s tied to. Its not Trump its the fraud. If this election is let stand we’re done.

I normally agree with that statement.

But the media is in the “listing Jack Meoff as reliable source” level of credibility. They have no sources in the administration that actually know anything.

I believe Rubio.

President Trump a well thought out plan to restore America and even the much maligned Iran war is eventually going to end well if President Trump is allowed to stay the course

He made a huge error with his Iran war messaging that did serious damage to the 2026 elections but if he walks away from Iran and leaves the IRGC in command he will destroy Republicans in 2028

His only choice is to stay the course, follow through and win

Based on what we’ve seen, what makes you think Trump can turn it around?
