And whenever someone says they’re resigning, I find it ridiculous. I’ll ask: ‘What position are you talking about?'”
Rubio, a former US senator from Florida, ran against Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries and later became one of Trump’s most trusted aides. He and Vice President Vance are also often considered potential candidates to take over the leadership of the Republican Party and run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028.
However, Rubio has said that he would support Vance if he ran for president. In an interview with NBC News in May this year, he said, “Vance is a very good friend of mine. If Vance runs for president, I think he’ll be a very good candidate. I’ve said it publicly and I’ll say it again now. I’ll be the first one to express support for him.”
Bloomberg News reported that several people close to Rubio said he may decide not to participate in the fierce battle within the party to succeed Trump, especially if Vance runs. When Rubio was interviewed by The New York Times on the 5th, he refused to answer whether he would consider running in the 2028 presidential election. “I’m not really going to talk about 2028 now.
