Rubio denies resignation claim

Rubio gave an interview to the New York Times (NYT) newspaper at the White House after the critical midterm elections that resulted in the Democrats gaining the upper hand in Congress.

Stating that it was always in his plans to work with President Donald Trump until the end of his term and that he loved his job, Rubio rejected the claim that he would resign from his position in order to be a candidate in the 2028 presidential elections.

On the other hand, Rubio, who avoided commenting on his future political career, said, "I'm really not going to talk any more about 2028." he said.

Referring to the election results, Rubio said, "I accept that the increase in prices at gas stations is not the kind of development that people will boast about or propagate during election campaigns." he said.

Rubio argued that Trump deserves "great credit" for taking the steps he deemed necessary, even if voters did not support them, and called this the "price of leadership."

Evaluating his country's Venezuela policy, Rubio stated that the United States supports Venezuela's "return to democracy" and signaled that military cooperation between the two countries should be deepened.

Rubio argued that the presidential election in Venezuela should "ideally" be held next year, and that this country needs a new Supreme Court and electoral board, and that it needs to restructure its debts and reform its security forces.

In the news of the British publication The Independent, based on US and British sources, it was claimed that Rubio would resign to prepare for the 2028 US presidential election as the Republican candidate.
