US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will not run for president in 2028 if current Vice President J.D. Vance announces his intention to seek the Republican Party's nomination.
Modern.az reports, citing sources close to the Secretary of State, that the Associated Press agency has disseminated this information.
According to the agency, Rubio has repeatedly stated in conversations with his advisors and assistants that he intends to make way for Vance. The Associated Press notes that in recent months, Rubio, who has held the positions of Secretary of State and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, has significantly strengthened his influence in the administration and appointed his supporters to key positions in the White House National Security Council.
Previously, US President Donald Trump avoided directly answering a question about his possible successor in 2028 during an interview with Fortune magazine.
American media frequently refer to Rubio and Vance as leading Republican candidates, emphasizing that they could compete for the presidency in the next presidential election.
