'It’s time to get on with the work of beating Biden & saving America.'
One day before Florida’s Governor participates in the Iowa caucuses, the state’s senior Senator is endorsing Donald Trump.
“It’s time to get on with the work of beating Biden & saving America,” asserted Marco Rubio Sunday, in a clear blow to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“When Trump was in WH I achieved major policies I had worked on for years (like expanded Child Tax Credit & tough sanctions on regime in Cuba & Venezuela) because we had a President who didn’t cave to special interests or let bureaucrats block us. I support Trump because that kind of leadership is the ONLY way we will get the extraordinary actions needed to fix the disaster Biden has created,” Rubio posted to X.
Rubio resisted any pressure to endorse up until now.
“Those things have a way of taking care of themselves,” he said in November 2022. “Having run for President, having gone through all that before, who knows what the world’s going to look like in two years? Who knows what it’s going to look like in two months?”
Rubio follows Sen. Rick Scott in endorsing the former President’s try to be Republican presidential nominee for a third time.
“I support my friend President Donald J. Trump to be the 47th president of the United States and encourage every Republican to unite behind his efforts to win back the White House. It’s time for the Republican Party to come together, behind one candidate, and declare with one voice that we are united in our efforts to defeat Joe Biden and rescue America,” Scott wrote in Newsweek back in November 2023.
DeSantis called that a “rush to try to short circuit the people’s voice.” Time will tell if he says something similar about the Rubio snub.
Thank you, Big Marco!
Good.
Christie: Oh, no. Does this mean I’m counterbalanced? I’m suddenly hungry.
DeSantis is going to be even more haggard looking now.
Surprising, but nice to see.
I wonder if this would have happened if the 17th Amendment hadn’t been passed.
I think the 17th Amendment was a mistake. I’m pro-Trump. I’m pro-DeSantis as a governor. However as long as DeSantis is running, I think Florida Senators should hold their peace.
Based on his past one wonders if he is seeking a VP role?
That was my very first thought.
He cannot.
Not allowed.
Doesn’t really matter
It is becoming clearer that desantis will drop out and I think it might happen after Iowa maybe New Hampshire. I also predict nikki will become the nominee, she is on an upward trend. Hate me all you want but I saw desantis loosing steam during the debates and when he had finally woken up it was too late.
Trump is loosing steam. That’s why he attacked vivik. He needs his supporters. I see it clearly
Hate on me all you want.
Rubio had a surprisingly strong 3rd place finish in the 2016 Iowa caucuses, drawing support from Iowa’s strong insurance and financial services sectors.
“Trump is loosing steam”
I am of the humble opinion that when the words loose and lose are used interchangeably then the statement is to be completely ignored.
Obongo killed the NBC requirement.
Oops my bad you were talking about single State rule. That can be gotten around.
Yet another RINO supporting Trump. Interesting.
Florida’s two senators endorse Trump. Ron has lost the home team, his own state does not even want him.
Agreed. Or if still use what is now considered an embarrassing screen name.
A guy whom has he endorsed anyone else, everyone here would be calling this snake what he is.
