A growing number of Republicans on Capitol Hill want to draft Marco Rubio for a presidential bid in 2028 as they grapple with their midterm fade — and look beyond the vice president J.D. Vance.
Generational losses are sparking new discussions among Hill Republicans about who should lead the party.

And he got a boost Tuesday from his fellow Ohio Republican. Jim Jordan be elected new leader of the parliamentary minority.
