Rubio says he will reconsider running for reelection
The Hill ^ | June 15, 2016 | Harper Neidig

Posted on 06/15/2016 2:42:41 PM PDT by maggief

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will reconsider his decision not to run for reelection, he told reporters Wednesday.

Rubio reopened the door to running after speaking with Florida Lt. Gov. Carlos López-Cantera, a close friend of his who is running to replace him.

Sunday's mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub that left 49 dead made him rethink his decision, Rubio said.

“Obviously, I take very seriously everything that’s going on — not just Orlando, but in our country,” he said. “I enjoy my service here a lot. So I’ll go home later this week, and I’ll have some time with my family, and then if there’s been a change in our status, I’ll be sure to let everyone know.”

Rubio has until next week to decide whether to enter the GOP primary for his seat.

he will reconsider his not considering, or consider his not reconsidering, or not considering his original consideration? :)

Maybe the big job offer he expected fell through. I hope this empty suit will not run.

Exactly. Some Saudi offered him a bunch of money if he endorsed pro-immigration policies or allowing Jihadi citizens of the United States to carry machine guns into gay nightclubs.

I don’t know about this. If Rubio is so formidable, why didn’t he win the primary in his home state? Even John Kasich managed to do that.

I don’t get it. He was allegedly bored in the Senate.

Why would a massacre be the reason he rethinks his decision? I don’t see how one connects to the other. I guess he will explain it if he runs again.
