New Yorker: “Rubio, who has entered six elections and never lost, is alert to the appearance of overweening ambition. … He considers himself a Catholic, but he attends two churches-an evangelical Protestant service on Saturdays and a Roman Catholic Mass on Sundays… He used to proclaim his love of nineties-era hip-hop-particularly Tupac Shakur-but recently he has also taken to praising cross-genre artists, such as Drake and the Weeknd, who blend electronic dance music with hip-hop, rap, and R. & B… Rubio’s ecumenism is one reason that prominent Democrats consider him the most worrisome contender.”
