Two of the most closely watched figures in American politics are expected to share the same VIP suite when the United States men's national soccer team takes the field at SoFi Stadium to play against Paraguay today Friday, placing Secretary of State Marco Rubio and California Gov. Gavin Newsom side by side at one of the country's biggest sporting events.
The appearance comes as both men are widely viewed as potential contenders for the 2028 presidential election, adding a political subplot to the World Cup atmosphere surrounding the U.S. team's match in Los Angeles.
