Marco Rubio absent from Iran ceasefire talks as 2028 buzz grows
Secretary of State Marco Rubio did not attend Pakistan-hosted negotiations this week aimed at securing a ceasefire with Iran, leaving Pakistani and regional diplomats to lead the talks. Instead Rubio issued public remarks saying Iran's footballers will be welcome at this year's World Cup, a comment that separates U.S. messaging from proposals to bar Iran's team. Allies and some White House insiders are increasingly treating Rubio as a potential 2028 presidential contender, and his absence highlights a tension between high-profile political positioning and direct U.S. diplomatic engagement on a major Middle East crisis.
According to POLITICO, some of Donald Trump’s allies are increasingly considering Marco Rubio as a serious contender for the 2028 presidential election. 👇Read(ALT)
Whoever spoke to POLITICO is spreading disinformation. They're trying to pretend 1. people will forget that Rubio has been MAGA-shriveled, 2. the GOP will come back to sanity by supporting a SoS & former Senator. The GOP will never be sane again, because the voters who support them aren't sane.
Idk, those are big shoes to fill.
