Donald Trump would be exploring the possibility of Republican Senator Marco Rubio becoming his vice presidential ticket, according to the American media NBC News.
Rubio, who had announced in January his support for former President Trump’s candidacy ahead of the primaries, now hopes to become the person who could accompany the magnate in the second phase of this electoral contest, in which they will have to face the Democrat. Joe Biden.
It should be noted that, if this news is confirmed, Donald Trump could be seeking the support of Latinos in the United States and could then take advantage of the fact that Rubio has Cuban roots.
Trump’s senior advisor, Kellyanne Conway, pointed out in January of this year, for the digital newspaper La Política Internacional, that she has been suggesting to the presidential candidate that he look for a person of color or of Latin American origin, and on that list she would have included the senator republican.
So the name of the Cuban-American senator who faced Trump in the 2016 primaries is now on the table and is among the most likely, according to Conway in that interview, to accompany the former president to govern the United States for the second time since the White House.
Although the person who would almost have the last word on that election would be the Cuban-American Carlos Trujillo, a lawyer who held important positions within the Trump administration.
Trujillo was ambassador to the OAS and now it is his buffet that defends the Republican leader in each of the scandals he has been involved in since he left the presidency.
“Not only are there possibilities, I believe that Marco Rubio is the best qualified person to be vice president at this time. The experience that he has in the Senate, with foreign relations issues, with intelligence issues, are two very important needs that President Trump will face in his next administration. The issue of the border is a very worrying issue that he is now leading in the campaign and also the challenges that we encounter in our hemisphere,” Conway highlighted.
Regarding the link that Rubio could have with Trump at this moment, it is said that they have smoothed out the rough edges; For this reason, the senator made public at the time the support that he would give to the former president to become head of state again.
Eight years ago, the two had strong clashes while each was involved in politics. Now, according to some sources close to the two politicians, “they get along very well” and consolidated a close relationship when Trump was president and Rubio returned to the Senate.
It has also been known that both are frequently found in Mar-A-Lago and New Jesey. Rubio has been in the Senate for thirteen years and is considered one of the most influential conservative politicians within the Latino community.
“Marco is one of the most capable people in the Republican caucus and has years of experience in the Senate. Trump’s policy was never based on gender or color, but on capacity and Marco is one of the most capable people in foreign relations and on the border issue that obviously worries us a lot. “I don’t think there is anyone more capable than Marco,” said Trujillo, in an interview for the same medium.
Who is Republican Senator Marco Rubio?
He came to the United States Congress in 2011 representing the state of Florida and has extensive experience in the world of politics. He was born in April 1971, in Miami, but he is the son of two Cuban immigrants. He studied law at the University of Miami, the same city where he grew up and where he completed his primary and secondary education.
Since Rubio arrived in the Senate, he says he has set himself the goal of helping all those Hispanics who want to achieve the so-called “American dream.” It is for this reason that in recent years, as can be read on the US Congress website, he seeks to ensure that those who escaped from their countries of origin have greater opportunities to do so.
Just as it happened with his parents, who emigrated to the United States in 1950, at the beginning of the Cuban Revolution. Her father was a waiter and her mother worked as a cleaning lady for a hotel, until she started working in a factory.
Rubio’s career as a politician began in 2000, after being elected as a member of the Florida House of Representatives, and in 2006 he became Speaker of the House. He later served as commissioner of the city of West Miami, where he lives with his wife Jeanette Dousdebes of Colombian roots, with whom he has four children.
With his arrival in the Senate for the third time, Rubio began to insist on strengthening the economy, increasing the tax credit for working families with children, reforms to the aid system he has for military veterans, and support for small businesses. companies that suffered serious damage to their capital after the covid-19 pandemic.
“The United States is the greatest country the world has ever known, but we have serious internal problems and dangerous challenges abroad,” the senator explained at some point for international media.
“We need to rebalance our national economy, bring critical industries back to American soil, and rebuild our workforce through better education and training. None of this is easy, but we can’t afford to fail. That is why I am committed to building a multi-ethnic working class coalition that is willing to fight for this country and usher in a new American century,” he concluded.
