Asharq News reported on Nov. 5 that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied considering a departure from the Trump administration. He said staying through the end of President Donald Trump’s term had always been his plan. Assistant Secretary of State Dylan Johnson also denied that Rubio had discussed leaving, calling the report false and based on anonymous sources. Bloomberg’s earlier report, citing unnamed sources, said Rubio and his team were considering several options, including leaving his posts as secretary of state and national security adviser, after Republican losses in the midterm elections. Bloomberg reported that no final decision or timetable had been set. Rubio declined to discuss a possible 2028 presidential run.
