  "account": "A surge in Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill is advocating for Senator Marco Rubio to run for the 2028 presidential election in the wake of their recent midterms losses. With Vice President JD Vance's popularity questioned by some, Rubio has emerged as a potential front-runner. However, Rubio himself has shown little interest in a 2028 run, focusing instead on his current roles and avoiding speculation about his future plans. Despite this, several GOP representatives remain hopeful about Rubio's candidacy, praising his communication skills and ability to unify the party. Meanwhile, Vance continues to face challenges from within the party due to his association with unpopular policies, such as the ongoing war in Iran. As the 2028 presidential race unfolds, other potential candidates, including former Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Ted Cruz, are also being discussed as strong contenders.",
  "summary": "More and more Republicans see a wide open 2028 presidential race — and are eyeing Marco Rubio.",
