A top Cabinet official may be eyeing an early exit from the second Trump administration after the GOP’s midterm catastrophe.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is mulling whether to leave the White House, insiders told Bloomberg.

Rubio, 55, rejected the rumors circulating about his potential departure to The New York Times, saying that working with President Donald Trump through his entire term has “always been my plan.”

The former Florida senator and his advisers have been weighing options for his future after Republicans’ massive blowout in Tuesday’s midterm elections, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
