Rubio had essentially a lifetime Senate seat; barring some scandal, or Florida going blue, Marco could have retired in that job. Rubio isn't wealthy, he has no big corporate CEO salary to fall back on like Tillerson, so he needs to work. And Rubio knew from experience Trump is an asshole; being his SoS would inevitably end badly, with his reputation ruined.

Maybe Marco plans to run for governor? If he hangs on for a few months and puts up with Trump's insanity, he can declare his candidacy. Rubio would likely win if he runs for governor.
