In a Politico report published Wednesday and written by Meredith Lee Hill and Mia McCarthy, the outlet said that more Hill Republicans are looking at Marco Rubio for 2028.

Politico said some of those Republicans are "looking beyond Vice President JD Vance," a shift the outlet tied to the party's midterm losses, which its summary described as devastating.

The summary does not say how many lawmakers are involved or which ones have expressed interest in Rubio. Its headline describes the trend as rising, but the summary provides no figures on its size.

Politico's summary also does not describe any public response from Rubio or Vance, and it does not say whether either has taken steps toward a 2028 campaign.

The summary gives no details on the midterm results themselves, including which races or offices were involved. It characterizes the losses only as devastating for Republicans. Because this account relies on the headline and summary, further details from the full Politico article are not reflected here.

Politico's summary establishes one point: some Republicans are now looking at Rubio as well as beyond Vance, following the midterm losses. The reasons, the scale of the shift, and the reactions of those involved remain outside the available summary.
