Marco Rubio is planning to meet with his former political mentor Jeb Bush to try to bury the hatchet, the Florida Senator says.
Speaking to reporters in Nevada today, Rubio said that he spoke with Bush on Monday and had "a nice conversation," according to the New York Times.
"He's just decompressing from this election," Rubio told reporters. "And trying to get going again in the rest of his life. But we'll meet and talk soon enough."
Rubio did not specify a date for the meeting and told the Times that he had not asked for Bush's endorsement.
"We're going to get together soon," he said.
After beating Bush soundly in South Carolina, Rubio was careful to praise the third member of the Bush family to run for president after he announced he would drop out of the race.
"I have an incredible affection and admiration not just for Governor Bush but for his family and for their service to our country," he said during his speech. "Jeb Bush has many things to be proud of. He is an extraordinary husband. He's an extraordinary father. He was the greatest governor in the history of Florida.

Woe to GOPe hating conservatives if Trump succeeds in driving Cruz from the race.
If Rubio is the nominee I'm staying home.
Will Jeb bring Mommy and Daddy? And their checkbook?
Kiss The Ring time.
little ricky a REAL go getter in his sleek, slick, black, elevated heel loafers....like a little wind up doll...but still a lackey slave to his mentoring doner contributors and gope! So go away!
If Rubio is the nominee, Hillary becomes POTUS. Won't vote for him as the lesser of two evils either.
MR plans plummet with Yheb! on Amnasty.
LOL! Good one!
So you don’t believe the polls? Just wondering?
The RNC still owes The Cheap Labor Express a Designated Loser amnesty candidate.
Yeb! won’t like it a bit, but he will endorse the Memorizer Bunny.
Whatever it takes to keep flooding America.............
I don't care if Pol Pot is resurrected and is the Dem nominee and wins. I am done voting for pro-amnesty, feckless, establishment sell-out Republicans.
every once in awhile I think maybe Rubio might be the guy then , every time I think that, he falls back into his elite RINO stupidity. This is the last straw for me, Rubio is OUT. I believe Trump will be the winner if he can keep from getting assassinated by the Democrats, or Republicans , or Wall street , or the one world crowd.
“Summit”, huh?
Wonder if they’ll converse in Spanish?
Why ? ...do you still want to lose with the supposed “Constitutional Conservative” Cruz ? ...Cruz can’t win ..Trump is the only way
Is Chuck Schumer selling or renting his gimp boy to Jeb Bush?
The only people “driving Cruz from the race” will be voters.
This is where they’ll decide what Jeb can buy with his leftover millions.
