Marco Rubio may leave the Trump administration to participate in the 2028 presidential race": Secretary of State Rubio's ambitions will change the balance of power in the Republican Party. Sources in Washington and the British government expect Rubio to step down after the Republicans' disastrous performance in the mid-term congressional elections, in which the party lost control of both chambers. Sources say Rubio needs to distance himself from the administration's controversial decisions, including the war with Iran, to improve his chances against his main rival, Vice President J. Dee Vance.
