跟进：鲁比奥亲口否认将离任竞选总统：为特朗普干满任期「一直是我的计划」
华盛顿——美国国务卿 Marco Rubio 11月5日接受《纽约时报》采访，亲口否认了自己正考虑离开特朗普政府、为竞选总统做准备的报道。他表示，为总统特朗普工作到其本届任期结束「一直是我的计划」。本轮传闻出现于共和党在中期选举中惨败之后：彭博社当天早些时候报道称，鲁比奥已与白宫官员谈过离任的可能性，国务院与白宫发言人随即斥之为假新闻，但鲁比奥本人此前一直没有公开表态。
被问及离任报道时，鲁比奥说：「说实话，我不知道这些说法是从哪儿来的。」他表示自己热爱正在做的工作，并开玩笑说，每当有人说他要辞职，他都想反问「辞哪一份」——他同时兼任国务卿与总统国家安全事务助理两个职务。对于外界最关注的2028年总统选举，他明确拒绝置评：「我真的不会再谈2028年了，就这样。」鲁比奥今年5月曾表示，若副总统万斯参选总统，他会支持万斯。
白宫发言人 Beni Rae Harmony 同日发表声明，称离任报道是「匿名消息来源编造的骗局、没有任何事实信息」；英国《独立报》援引的共和党消息人士与英国政府人士则仍把鲁比奥视为特朗普最可能的接班人选之一。鲁比奥定于下周在华盛顿举行的联邦党人学会全国律师大会上发表演讲，那将是他中期选举后的首次重要公开讲话。

Follow-Up: Rubio Personally Denies Plans to Leave to Run for President: Serving Trump's Full Term 'Has Always Been My Plan'
Washington — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on November 5 personally denied reports that he is considering leaving the Trump administration to prepare a run for president, telling The New York Times in an interview that working for President Donald Trump until the end of his term has 'always been my plan.' The speculation followed the Republican Party's heavy losses in the midterm elections. Bloomberg News had reported earlier in the day that Rubio had discussed a possible departure with White House officials; State Department and White House spokespeople promptly branded the reports fake news, but Rubio himself had not commented publicly until now.
Asked about the reports, Rubio said: 'I don't know where these things come from, to be honest with you.' He said he loves the work he is doing, and joked that whenever people say he is going to leave his job, he wants to ask, 'Which one?' — he serves simultaneously as secretary of state and as the president's national security adviser. On the question of the 2028 presidential election, he declined to engage: 'I literally will not talk about 2028 anymore. I just won't do it.' Rubio said in May that he would support Vice President JD Vance if Vance runs for president.
White House spokesperson Beni Rae Harmony said in a statement the same day that the departure reports were 'a fabricated hoax being peddled by anonymous sources with no factual information.' Republican sources and British government figures cited by The Independent, meanwhile, still view Rubio as a leading candidate to succeed Trump. Rubio is scheduled to deliver his first major post-midterm speech next week at the Federalist Society's National Lawyers Convention in Washington.
