SEATTLE - We all heard the phrase "when one door closes, another opens," and for 53-year-old Senator from Florida Marco Rubio, the popular saying could not be more true.

More recently, many people believed Rubio was a top candidate to be Donald Trump's running mate for the 2024 elections, which eventually went to Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. But Florida Republicans argue that there is another door that could open for Rubio, as they see him as top contender for another high-profile job in a future Trump administration.

The Ohio senator turned 40 on Aug. 2 and the vice president’s team took the opportunity to highlight his less-than-satisfactory achievements as Trump’s Republican VP pick. “At 78 and 40, Donald Trump and his sidekick, the most unpopular VP pick in American history, are running on an agenda to drag our country backwards, reverse the progress we’ve made, and ensure Americans have fewer freedoms in the next generation than they had in the last,” the campaign posted Friday night on X, adding reference to the controversial agenda, Project 2025. “Voters won’t stand for it, and that’s why they’re already rejecting the Trump-Vance Project 2025 agenda to rip away our freedoms,” the statement said. Trump has denied his involvement with Project 2025. “While we wish JD a happy 40th, the American people will make certain that he celebrates his 41st anywhere but the White House,” the statement concluded.Happy birthday to @JDVance pic.twitter.com/3xc5Ib4mSL— Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) August 2, 2024
