... Strategists said Rubio’s background, experience as a legislator and skills as a political candidate would make him a strong candidate to widen the ticket’s appeal.
“I happen to think that he’s the candidate the Biden campaign probably fears the most,” said Florida-based Republican strategist Justin Sayfie. “Of all the people that President Trump can pick to be his running mate, I think that the Biden campaign probably would not like to see Marco Rubio on the ticket.”
Rubio, 53, is among the youngest candidates on Trump’s short list. He was first elected to the Senate in 2010 with support from the Tea Party faction of the GOP after serving almost a decade in the Florida state House. He was seen as a rising star in the party and perhaps the future face of the GOP ahead of his presidential run in 2016.

YOU ARE RIGHT! But it wasn’t just misogynistic Dems who took her out; it was McCain’s own campaign staff who sabotaged her.
Rubio doesn’t pass the authenticity test. He seems like just another politician.
“This week’s happenings in Detroit tell me it’s Ben Carson.”
When I heard him speaking, that’s EXACTLY what hit me. It was more Presidential than Vice Presidential.
No we won't. There are several we absolutely do not want but we don't really have a say in the matter so we will have to take whatever he gives us, it is his show. Of course if he makes you mad enough to vote for Biden or whomever they select to run, it would only prove you are no Freeper at all.
We know why and we also know that has been totally ignored by the democrats. The whole argument is moot unless/until the Supreme Court decides to tell us what the Founders really meant. Good luck with those clowns.
John McCain didn't resign to run and there have been any others. Bob Dole chose to step down, most don't.
I will not vote for Rubio in any capacity on any ticket.
He doesn’t have much to choose from.
Rubio. No.
JD Vance is far superior, but Rubio may sway many Hispanic votes. No one can trust Rubio with illegal aliens.
This is the Hill for God’s sake, it is utter garbage if they print something it is a LIE!!
Where do we disagree, Cat?
I cannot relate to any reason you could give that would help Democrats stay in power.
I think the rules over whether you can run for two offices at the same time vary from state to state...the rules in Arizona may have changed after 1964.
Nope.
JD Vance
Tucker Carlson
that is all.
Elise Stefanik
I don’t see how anyone from FL can be chosen.
Lake would be considered if she left the AZ Senate primary and endorsed Sheriff Lamb, who is running far behind her.
THE HILL……..OMG utter garbage, pushing Rubio just as they did Haley, Trump would NEVER choose Rubio, GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!!!…Trump’s team TROLLING the Hill!!!
A good list :-)
