  "account": "US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly expected to resign from his administration position in anticipation of his 2028 presidential bid, according to The Independent. This comes in the wake of the Republicans' devastating losses in the midterm elections, which have reportedly spurred several senior administration officials to consider leaving their roles to pursue a presidential campaign. Rubio has reportedly been sidelined on several major diplomatic issues, with President Trump relying heavily on special envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. However, Rubio's close ally has stated that it makes sense for him to leave the administration, as he needs to distance himself from Trump to improve his chances of winning the nomination. Despite his prominent position within the administration, Rubio has reportedly remained a frontrunner for the Republican nomination. The White House and State Department have both rejected the resignation speculation, with officials dismissing the report as \"baseless, false conspiracy theories\" and \"completely baseless fake news\".",
  "summary": "\"There will be about four or five of them running for the hills,\" a Republican source said, as Rubio and other Trump officials reportedly consider resigning after the midterms.",
