Whether Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) decides to run for president “is especially difficult to determine, considering several complications he faces — the first of which is that the first-term senator is up for re-election in 2016,” Scott Conroy reports.
“In and of itself, that would not be a deal breaker, as there is a long tradition of politicians seeking national and legislative office simultaneously… But Rubio, by contrast, has said repeatedly that he does not plan to look for ways to challenge the Florida statute that precludes federal candidates from appearing twice on the same ballot.”
Said Rubio: “I think, by and large, when you choose to do something as big as [running for president], you’ve really got to be focused on that and not have an exit strategy.”
