SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci criticized Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday, urging followers to remember Rubio’s stance in 2028, amid speculation over his future in the Trump administration.
Scaramucci wrote on X that voters should “remember little Marco in 2028.” He added that they should recall where Rubio stood “when the country needed him.”
Rubio Backs Trump on Iran
Scaramucci’s post responded to a clip shared by Eric Daugherty, a conservative commentator and chief content officer at Florida’s Voice, a conservative news network. Daugherty said Rubio stood beside President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and made clear he is not resigning.
Rubio said the world cannot tolerate the “most radical terroristic regime on the planet” holding a weapon of mass destruction.
Exit Rumors and 2028 Talk
According to a report published on Thursday by The Independent, Rubio may be weighing an exit from the administration to prepare for a possible 2028 presidential run. The outlet cited unnamed Republican and British government sources. Rubio has not announced plans to resign or run. In September, he said he had “no plans at this time” to seek the presidency.
The White House rejected the report, calling it “baseless, false conspiracy theories,” TNND reported. The State Department also dismissed it as “completely baseless fake news.”
Earlier, Rubio rejected the speculation earlier. He said staying through Trump’s term has “always been my plan.”
The speculation follows Republicans losing control of both the House and Senate in the November midterms.
On Saturday, Scaramucci also urged Vice President JD Vance and Rubio to seek Trump’s removal after the midterm losses
Vance and Rubio are both widely viewed as possible Republican contenders to replace Trump in the future.
