Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio said Thursday he has not been in contact with former President Trump's campaign, but said serving as vice president would be an 'incredible opportunity.'
After reports that he is being considered to be former President Trump's running mate, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said it would be an 'honor' to serve, but said he has not heard from the Trump campaign. Rubio, a Republican from Florida, said Thursday that being offered the chance to be a presidential running mate would be 'an incredible opportunity to serve our country.
We’ve had a great working relationship — we ran against each other, so at one point we were competitors — but since 2016, especially when he was president, we worked really well together,' the senator continued, according to Politico. Recent rumors that Rubio was being considered seemed to come out of left field, as the senator was left out of previous discussions about the Trump campaign's shortlist. During an interview on Fox News' 'The Ingraham Angle' last month, Trump was asked about half a dozen potential running mate choices: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Rep.
They are,' Trump answered. 'Honestly, all of those people are good. They’re all good, they’re all solid.' Rubio on Thursday also quashed rumors circulating among Republicans that he has any ambitions of becoming the conference leader, emphatically denying that he is interested. 'No, I have never talked to anyone about running for leader, either,' Rubio said. 'That’s something I’ve never been interested in doing.
