From ‘Little Marco’ to Trump’s Shortlist

Wall Street Journal: “Eight years after battling Donald Trump over the direction of the party, the U.S. senator from Florida has landed in an astonishing spot: Rubio is among a few leading candidates on Trump’s vice presidential shortlist.”

He is charismatic and can appeal to both working-class and professional-sector voters, including Hispanics, according to his advocates. He has domestic- and foreign-policy credentials, withstood the scrutiny of a presidential campaign in 2016, and—as is crucial for Trump—looks the part.”
