Rubio supports Trump campaign’s ‘growing negativity’ as typical of ‘all campaigns
Sen. Marco Rubio Defends Trump’s Campaign Strategies and Promises
In a recent appearance on State of the Union, Sen. Marco Rubio passionately defended Donald Trump’s campaign strategies and promises, solidifying his endorsement of Trump as the 2024 Republican nominee. Host Jake Tapper questioned Rubio about Trump’s recent comments regarding Michael Haley, the husband of Nikki Haley and a National Guardsman who is currently deployed in Africa. Trump had mentioned Major Haley’s absence from the campaign trail without acknowledging his deployment.
“I think they’re part of the increasing nastiness of this campaign and every campaign in American politics,” Rubio stated, dismissing the controversy as a common occurrence in campaign cycles.
Tapper then attempted to hold Rubio accountable for his own criticisms of Trump during the 2016 election, but Rubio shrugged them off and reaffirmed his support for the former president.
“We were in a campaign,” Rubio explained. “Kamala Harris basically suggested Joe Biden was a segregationist. And then she became his vice president.”
Rubio also downplayed concerns about Trump’s recent comments regarding a NATO country’s unpaid dues, stating that it raised “zero concern” for him.
“Frankly, look, Donald Trump is not a member of the Council of Foreign Relations,” Rubio emphasized. “He doesn’t talk like a traditional politician. We’ve already been through this now. You think people would have figured it out.”
Both Rubio and his fellow senator Rick Scott endorsed Trump over their state governor Ron DeSantis, who has since withdrawn from the race. DeSantis, too, endorsed Trump upon dropping out.

Rubio responded to Tapper’s query by stating, “I think they’re part of the increasing nastiness of this campaign and every campaign in American politics,” dismissing the controversy as a common occurrence in campaign cycles. Rubio further attempted to hold himself accountable for his own criticisms of Trump during the 2016 election, but he shrugged them off and reaffirmed his support for the former president.
“We were in a campaign,” Rubio explained. “Kamala Harris basically suggested Joe Biden was a segregationist. And then she became his vice president.” By drawing attention to the rhetoric used by Harris during the campaign, Rubio aimed to illustrate that such criticisms are a regular part of political campaigns.
Furthermore, Rubio downplayed concerns about Trump’s recent comments regarding a NATO country’s unpaid dues, stating that it raised “zero concern” for him. He emphasized that Trump does not conform to the traditional political approach and does not speak like a typical politician. Rubio insisted that the American public should have already understood this about Trump, given his previous tenure in office.
It is noteworthy that both Rubio and his fellow senator, Rick Scott, endorsed Trump over their state governor Ron DeSantis, who has since withdrawn from the race. Even DeSantis, upon dropping out, endorsed Trump. This highlights the strong support and unity within the Republican Party regarding Trump’s candidacy for the 2024 nomination.
In conclusion, Senator Marco Rubio’s recent defense of Donald Trump’s campaign strategies and promises during his appearance on State of the Union solidified his endorsement of Trump as the 2024 Republican nominee. Rubio dismissed controversies surrounding Trump’s comments as commonplace in American politics, emphasizing the need to focus on policy issues rather than campaign rhetoric. Rubio’s unwavering support for Trump, even in the face of past criticisms, highlights the unity within the Republican Party regarding Trump’s candidacy.
