US-Regierung: Rubio zu Rücktrittsgerücht: Ich liebe meinen Job
Zwei Tage nach den Midterms kommt in Medienberichten das Gerücht auf, es könnte zu einem Rücktritt im Trump-Kabinett kommen. Außenminister Rubio bezieht dazu Stellung.
US-Außenminister Marco Rubio has dismissed rumors of his resignation, telling the "New York Times" that he is unsure where such media reports originate. He emphasized that he loves the work he does. Earlier, a spokesperson for the Department of State dismissed the rumor as false and fabricated, with media reporting that Rubio was considering resigning as Secretary of State.
Speculation suggested that the 55-year-old may be preparing a 2028 presidential candidacy, though Rubio stated he would not comment on the 2028 topic. Rubio and JD Vance are both candidates for 2028, leaving uncertainty on whether Rubio can currently propose a candidacy. The rumor about Rubio's potential resignation came two days after the devastating midterm elections for President Donald Trump's Republicans.
Rubio had previously expressed presidential ambitions, withdrawing his candidacy in an internal primary when Trump was his primary opponent in 2016, marking the beginning of his first presidency. Trump's second term ends in January 2029.
