US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly preparing to resign from Donald Trump’s government to seek the Republican nomination for the 2028 presidential election, the Zambian Observer reports. The outlet cites sources in Washington and within the British government, without identifying them.
According to these sources, Rubio would seek to distance himself from the administration’s policies, particularly the war in Iran, after the Republican defeat in the midterm elections. Vice-President J. D. Vance is presented as his main potential rival for the nomination. The Zambian Observer also says that up to five cabinet members could leave office, amid criticism over energy costs and foreign policy.
The report comes after Donald Trump’s electoral defeat, which J. D. Vance linked to the war in Iran in a statement published on 4 November. Trump’s defeat was also presented as a factor in the reshaping of US foreign policy.
