Republican Senator for Florida Marco Rubio on Sunday declined to speculate on rumors that former US president Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, may challenge him for his seat in 2022, saying only that anyone seeking to take his position in the Senate will face a “tough race.”
Speaking to Fox News, Rubio also said that trying the former president in the Senate would be counterproductive and like “pouring gasoline on the fire.”
Ivanka Trump, a former senior adviser to the president, is said to be considering a run for office and rumors were given a further boost after she and her husband, Jared Kushner, recently purchased a multi-million dollar property in Miami.
Asked how he felt about a primary challenge from Trump, Rubio responded, “Well, I don’t really get into the parlor games of Washington.”
Rubio went on, “When you decide to run for reelection in a state like Florida, you have to be prepared for a competitive race, you run it like a competitive race, so that’s what I’m preparing to run, a very competitive race against a tough opponent.
“I don’t own the Senate seat, it doesn’t belong to me. If I want to be back in the US Senate I have to earn that every six years.

It was just for fun. Google has scrubbed all the ones that show his face. Tells you whose side Micro is on.
Frankly I think Rubio is a bit of a weasel.
Him shooting off his mouth about President Trump being charged criminally as a private citizen just goes to show that he thinks people are entitled to his opinion.
He just likes to hear himself talk.
She and Jared had too much influence on President Trump. One of the many mistakes he made, I’m sad to say.
