🔻 The White House rejected the report by the American media about a possible withdrawal of Rubio and Guest.

The White House dismissed rumors of the possible resignations of Defense Secretary Pete Gast and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio amid possible changes in Donald Trump's administration after the election.

It was reported in the American media that there is a demand for the dismissal of Pete Hegest; Especially because of the way he conducted the war with Iran, which some see as the reason for the heavy defeat of the Republicans in the elections.

One of the Republican congressional representatives who is leaving that position has threatened that he may begin the process of voting to impeach Guest as early as next week. The US Secretary of Defense also defended his performance and condemned this effort in a video release.

He said: "You see, they attack me on the ground; they attack us on the ground because we are effective. These efforts will not work. We will not back down." Yasmin Ansari, a Democratic and Iranian representative of the US Congress, also wants the impeachment of Pete Guest.

Meanwhile, Marco Rubio dismissed reports that he was considering resigning in order to run for president in 2028.

In an interview with The New York Times, Mr. Rubio stated that it was "always my plan" to continue working with the Trump administration until the end of his term.

He added: "I love what I do. Besides, when they say he's going to retire, I always laugh and ask, "Which side? ".

The White House and the US State Department also dismissed reports of Rubio's possible resignation after this week's defeats in the elections, and both called these reports "fake news".

On Thursday, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources, that Marco Rubio is consulting with advisers about his political future.
