Marco Rubio Is on 'Resignation Watch.' Here's Why.

Alrighty, so yesterday, the DOJ civil rights chief, Harmeet Dhillon, resigned from the administration, which is a loss to the administration. She's been great, you know, Harmeet, for years. She served as our lawyer when we sued the federal government to stop the vaccine mandate, you know, unlike other companies that actually just made their employees vaxxed. And in any other case, she released a letter. Saying, quote, in early October, I informed Chief of Staff Susie Wiles I will be leaving the DOJ after the 2026 midterm election. Consistent with that conversation, I hereby resign as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the DOJ. Serving you and your administration has been the greatest honor of my lifetime. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. And she was responsible for an enormous number of wins for the administration, including fighting DEI and protecting women under Title IX from the predations of males pretending to be women and election And preventing the transing of the kids by teachers at schools without the permission of the parents and all of that, protecting religious liberty. She did a really good job as DOJ civil rights chief. That one is a loss. Now, there have been a lot of rumors swirling that the president's going to fire Pete Hegseth. He's going to throw him under the bus over the Iran war, which, again, a lot of people are saying that the Iran war is the only reason, which is untrue, for Republicans getting shellacked in the election. Were it only that simple. In any case, the president says that he is not going to be firing Pete Hegseth. Here he was yesterday. Are you expecting any staffing changes? No, Pete Hegseth has done a fantastic job. Now, he's got some interesting things. You know, we had more generals than we did in World War II. We had so many generals. Everybody was a four-star general. I never saw anything like it. And many of those people were woke. I don't like a woke general. And so he probably has opposition. I think he's doing a fantastic job. Again, the president. You know, honestly, he shouldn't blame Pete Hegseth for any of this sort of stuff. I mean, let's be real about this. The administration has a policy. The Department of Defense follows that policy. Pete Hegseth has done a fine job as Department of Defense head. Now, there's a move to, quote unquote, impeach Hegseth. There's a world where Democrats plus Thomas Massey try to impeach Hegseth in the House. There's no way that they're going to get to the full majority in the Senate to impeach Pete Hegseth. It'd be kind of a ridiculous exercise, frankly. They might try it anyway, but good for Trump for sticking by his defense secretary. Meanwhile, the dumbest rumor of the day was that Marco Rubio is going to resign from the Trump administration and then launch a bid for the presidency. The UK independent pushed this. Quote, insiders say the U.S. Secretary of State and White House National Security Advisor is preparing for the race to be the Republican nominee in November 2028. The vice president, J.D. Vance, currently his main rival. Mr. Rubio is one of up to five members of Mr. Trump's current cabinet who are thought to be preparing to run for the hills. That apparently is untrue. The Secretary of State dismissed reports he was planning to leave the Trump administration. He said, working for Trump until the end of his term has always been my plan. Responding to news reports he was mulling an exit, Rubio said, I don't know where these things come from, to be honest with you. I love the work I'm doing. And he said, and plus, I always laugh when they say he's going to leave his job. I go, which one? Fair enough. Now, again, as I've spelled out, I do not think that Marco Rubio is going to run for president in 2028 because logic dictates that he probably will not. Why? Well, number one, we should start with the fact that 2028 will be an uphill battle for whoever the Republican nominee is. Why would you voluntarily sort of jump into the middle of that? Second, you would have to run against the sitting vice president, J.D. Vance. And J.D. Vance is the sort of de facto heir right now to the president. If he runs against J.D. Vance and wins. Then he will be saddled with the fact that a lot of J.D. Vance supporters will be angry at him and an uphill battle against a Democrat in 2028. If he runs against J.D. Vance and loses, then he will be done. If he doesn't run and J.D. Vance wins, then J.D. might pick Marco Rubio as his vice president. And then if J.D. Vance loses, Marco is the next frontrunner. And if J.D. Vance wins, then Marco is the vice president. So that's sort of the game theory logic as to why Marco Rubio, I have serious, serious doubts that Marco Rubio is going to run. I could be wrong. Again, people get ideas in their heads. But I think it is very, very unlikely that Marco Rubio is going to run. And so there's really no reason for him to quit unless he just tires of the job at this point. We'll get to more on this in just one second. First, let's talk about something important. There's no more important issue than preserving the life of a baby. Abortion is extremely common across the country, even post Roe versus Wade. And the truth is that very often when a woman goes into a so-called pregnancy clinic, They're actually going to a place that's not going to give them all the information. What is the biggest piece of information women need to make an informed decision? They need to see an ultrasound because it changes your life because you finally see your own baby and that's going to change how you perceive the so-called cluster of cells. And that's what happens over at Preborn. At Preborn at Network Clinics, 80% choose life. 28 bucks can help provide one ultrasound. $280 can help provide 10. Reach her before the pill does with your strongest gift today. Dial pound 250, say keyword baby. That's pound 250 baby or Visit preborn.com slash Shapiro. Again, it's not a lot of money to save a life. And that's exactly what happens when women see their baby on an ultrasound. Again, I've done it with all five of my kids. It's a magic experience. It changes your perspective on life itself. Head on over to preborn.com slash Shapiro. All gifts are tax deductible. And Preborn is a five-star rated charity. Meanwhile, there are a lot of rumors that Susie Wiles, who's the president's chief of staff, is going to resign sometime in the next few weeks. That has not been made clear. It would not be super surprising for that to happen. Very often after a midterm shellacking, the chief of staff decides to take the out door. A person named Caroline Sunshine, who frankly I'd never heard of, was on Jesse Waters on Fox News last night saying, quote, Susie Wiles needs to resign. She needs to offer her resignation to the president before he has to ask for it. Her campaign skills have not translated into governing. Susie was behind the historic win in 2024. She deserved credit for it and got the top job for it and said that now Wiles was behind the historic loss where we lost both Mississippi and have lost the Senate potentially for six years. So that cuts both ways. Now, again, do I think that Susie Wiles particularly lies behind the defeat? I mean, I think that if Susie Wiles had had her way, the administration certainly would have been a lot more coherent and cogent, I think. Again, when you look at a midterm election, at the end of the day, it has to be laid at the feet of the president who is the president during the midterms. When Barack Obama got destroyed in 2010, it was Barack Obama's fault that the Democrats really got hurt in 2010. Laying at the feet of Susie Wiles, Pete Hegseth, or any other staffer, I think, is probably doing it wrong. With that said, will Wiles probably go? Sure. The question is then who would replace Susie Wiles? There's been a lot of talk about a variety of people like Bill Pulte, people who are sort of Trump insiders, people that President Trump likes personally. Again, the reason that Trump 1.0 worked really well, the first Trump administration was quite effective, is not because Trump had a team of enablers around him. It's because he had a bunch of people who would sometimes push back and say, listen, Mr. President, this is not a good idea. Right here, this is not a great idea. And the president this time decided to staff up people who are quote-unquote loyal, meaning who are going to sort of confirm his priors. And that has not ended particularly well.
