It looks like Rubio will reenter the race for his senate seat in Florida. Congressman David Jolly (R-Fla.) had been running for the seat to replace Rubio. On Friday he dropped out of that race to clear the way for Rubio. Jolly will now run for re-election in his Congressional district.
“I have been running for 10 months, we’ve been polling out front,” Jolly said. “Marco is saying he is getting in,” he added, apparently referencing rumors to that effect and not indicating Rubio had told him as much.
Some Senators on Capitol Hill also believe Rubio will be returning to the race although Rubio has not announced any chance in plans, yet.
“Obviously, I take very seriously everything that’s going on, not just in Orlando but in our country. I’ve enjoyed 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.”
It certainly sounds like Rubio has reconsidered leaving the Senate.

Rubio didn’t win his own primary, he’s toast
Meh.
The Real question is whether “foam boy” can win reelection. .. I like him so hopefully yes..
I watch the British bookie odds as a proxy for polls. For most of the Republican presidential race Rubio was leading Trump. After I did a “bing” search using the words “marco Rubio scandal” and read the first four pages; I realized that Rubio would not win and you can not always trust the polls.
The majority of voters thought that scandal was much ado about absolutely nothing.
because the average voter is much ado about nothing.
Which is why I used it. There are others. However I really do like Marco so will not talk about them. But consider this, if a dumb rino like me can find out all of this in under 10 minutes; then surely the Trump and Clinton people also knew. Have heard that Trump also likes Marco so can understand why he kept quiet…Would guess that Clinton was salivating over the thought of running against Marco. She would have destroyed him in a day.
