Rubio Says Family Supports a Presidential Bid

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) told National Journal that his family “is on board for a White House campaign in 2016, and he insists that no amount of money Jeb Bush raises will deter him from running.”

Said Rubio: “When it comes to the aspects of running for president, I think we clearly understand what it means, the sacrifice it entails—not just for the next 18 months, but for the next eight years of service to our country. And it’s a decision we’ve made in terms of being prepared to do that. So that issue has been surmounted in my mind.”

The Miami Herald says that should Rubio give up his Senate seat to run for president “there’s increasing political chatter that Rubio is well-positioned to run for governor in 2018.”
