Rubio Confident as Voting Nears

Sen. Marco Rubio “was exuding confidence on the campaign trail — cracking impromptu jokes, pointedly criticizing his main competitor Sen. Ted Cruz and spending more time taking questions from the press and donors,” Politico reports.

“The renewed confidence comes as Cruz’s campaign flipped its ad strategy to go after Rubio, redirecting money for negative ads that had been slated to hit Trump.”

The Hill: “Buzz is growing on the ground in Iowa around Marco Rubio, who many political watchers believe is set for a stronger-than-expected showing at Monday’s caucuses.”
