Trump Puts Spotlight on Rubio at Florida Rally Amid VP Speculation

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) joined former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Doral, Florida, just days before the 45th president is expected to announce his vice presidential pick.

Former President Trump referred to Mr. Rubio more than a dozen times throughout his speech, at times hinting that the senator could be his choice.

“I think they probably think I’m going to be announcing that Marco is going to be vice president, because that’s a lot of press,” the former president said, referring to the large press contingent on site.

When speaking about his proposal to no longer charge taxes on tips, he suggested that Mr. Rubio might not still be a senator when the bill comes up for a vote.

“Marco, you’re going to vote for it I hope,” he said.

“Well, you may or may not be there to vote for it, but you’ll be involved.”
