Rubio downplays 2028 talk, touts Vance as Trump's successor https://ift.tt/GlnWYM6

Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismissed speculation that he could be the Republican Party’s 2028 presidential nominee, instead throwing his support behind Vice President JD Vance.

"I think JD Vance would be a great nominee if he decides he wants to do that," Rubio said during an interview with Lara Trump that aired on the Fox News Channel Saturday.

Rubio also described Vance as one of his "closest friends in politics."

RUBIO REFLECTS ON REMARKABLE POLITICAL JOURNEY FROM TRUMP CRITIC TO TRUSTED CABINET MEMBER

He went on to commend Vance’s performance as vice president during the segment on "My View with Lara Trump" and made clear he is satisfied with his current role in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet.

"I want to do this job as long as the president allows me to," Rubio added. 

Trump appointed Rubio to serve as the nation's top diplomat shortly after defeating then–Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Rubio, previously a Republican senator representing Florida, was among the first confirmed to Trump's Cabinet.

"I believe that if I am able to be here, through the duration of this presidency, and we get things done at the pace that we've been doing the last six months, I'll be able to look back at my time in public service and say I made a difference, I had an impact, and I served my country in a very positive way," Rubio told Trump.

"And I would be satisfied with that as the apex of my career," he added.
