Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will reconsider his decision not to run for reelection, he told reporters Wednesday.
Rubio reopened the door to running after speaking with Florida Lt. Gov. Carlos López-Cantera, a close friend of his who is running to replace him.
Sunday's mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub that left 49 dead made him rethink his decision, Rubio said.
“Obviously, I take very seriously everything that’s going on — not just Orlando, but in our country,” he said. “I enjoy my service here a lot. So I’ll go home later this week, and I’ll have some time with my family, and then if there’s been a change in our status, I’ll be sure to let everyone know.”
Rubio has until next week to decide whether to enter the GOP primary for his seat.

He’s determined to have another loss on his record.
Him not running would be risky. Come on you people.
Now we know - Mitt, Cruz, Jeb, Rubio, Ryan are eyeing for 2020.
They will try to sabotage Trump 2016 as Mitt did for Sarah 2008
Gang members don’t need encouragement to continue their errant ways.
Florida Ping
The cushy job market must not have opened up for Marco.
Bwahahahaha
Rubio will find a hard time in the primary. He is intensely disliked by many for his duplicity in supporting the Gang of 8 bill and taking a lead role. You can bet he will seek Trump’s backing if he decides to run. Even then, he will be challenged.
Ted was like LBJ smart enough to protect his Senate seat while on a quixotic presidential bid. Marco was not.
He finally figured-out that in the real world no one would hire him or pay him. He can’t let go of the major government gravy train these career pols have set-up for themselves. Disgusting...parasitic.
Micro Rubio ALERT! What’s he on…work release? Shouldn’t he be in federal prison with the other 534 gang members? Oh, wait…
land of the thieves…
…home of the slaves.
Either way, it is very considerate of him.
Probably a net plus.
What a despicable pig. He was just waiting for any excuse.
I hope he does run and is handed as humiliating a defeat in the Republican Senate primary as he received from Trump during the Presidential primary.
Sunday’s mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub that left 49 dead made him rethink his decision, Rubio said.
***********
That’s what he said. What he was thinking was that this horrible incident has given him an excuse to run again. He’s nothing but a sleazy professional politician. Get a real job, Marco.
Bubbles Roofio needs to do something he’s never done in his political career... keep his word and retire.
Yes, but will Florida welcome back Little Marco?
Its not just a job its $174,000 per year and all the lobbyist money you can scoop up.
Rubio is a traitor. Hope he ends up in NYC washing windows at the freeway entrance.
