Rubio Winning Over Sheldon Adelson

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has emerged as the clear frontrunner in the Sheldon Adelson primary, Politico reports.

“In recent weeks, Adelson, who spent $100 million on the 2012 campaign and could easily match that figure in 2016, has told friends that he views Rubio, whose hawkish pro-defense views and unwavering support for Israel align with his own, as a fresh face who is ‘the future of the Republican Party.’ He has also said that Rubio’s Cuban heritage and youth would give the party a strong opportunity to expand its brand and win the White House.”
