Rubio Could Become VP Nominee as Major Trump Rally is Held in Florida

Share

US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is increasingly expected to become former President Donald Trump’s Vice Presidential nominee.

Senator Rubio has supported President Trump throughout the latter’s campaign.

However, Rubio amplified his pro-Trump messaging after the latter secured the Republican presidential nomination.

Now, political insiders are predicting Trump will select Rubio as his VP for the November 2024 elections. 

The Floridian’s Javier Manjarres suggests Rubio may be hinting he is already aware of having been selected.

Manjarres has been attentively surveilling and analyzing Rubio’s recent communications for any revealing data.

However, Rubio is not favored on gambling odds calculators. 

According to Oddschecker, Rubio’s odds for receiving the nomination are +900.

Ahead of him by over 600 points is Ohio Senator JD Vance (R), a Trump convert who once ridiculed the former president. 

Over the years, Senator Vance began to more closely align himself with Trump’s ideas and policies and is now one of the former president’s most avid public supporters.

Yet Rubio’s pull with Hispanic voters could be a decisive factor in his favor.

Various polls have repeatedly demonstrated Rubio’s supremacy over Democrats vis-a-vis hispanic voters, who support the former’s policies on immigration and the economy.

Trump is scheduled to host a rally at his Doral estate in south Florida tonight, where many expect him to announce his VP nominee. Trump will also host another major rally in Pennsylvania next Saturday, which is close to Vance’s home state of Ohio.
