Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) said Friday morning that Sen. Marco Rubio (R) is "saying he's getting in" the Senate race.

Jolly added during an appearance on CNN's "New Day" that he plans to tell his constituents at noon on Friday whether he'll stay in the Senate race himself or seek reelection to the House.

A spokesperson for Jolly later clarified that he "has no actual knowledge of a Rubio decision."

An aide indicated Friday that Rubio still plans to spend time with family while reevaluating his decision.

And if he runs, I truly hope Rubio LOSES. He should just retire.

Trying to preserve his political career. He should start by endorsing Trump.

What about him saying he didn’t want to run against his “good friend”. I believe it was during his interview with Jake Tapper.

On balance we would MUCH rather have Rubio in the Senate than Grayson. The Democrats are giving us a gift if they run him. If they do put Florida in Trump’s column.

He probably still hates the job, but likes the perks and hours.

This is a good sign that Mr. Trump, should he win the presidency, has refused to offer any future plushy appointment to Rubio in exchange for his (Marco's) endorsement and support in the key state of Florida.

This leaves only one alternative for Rubio...to run for re-election to continue his present cushy job.

I look for a good Floridian conservative Senate candidate to emerge soon...with Trump's backing.

We have the seat now. No sense putting it at risk. The big fella says he’s conservative. Good enough for me.

“”or seek reelection to the House.””

I don’t think he can do that as he wasn’t IN THE HOUSE to begin with or is that supposed to mean he’ll run for the
FL HOUSE AGAIN? Do people not review what they’ve written?
