Florida senator Marco Rubio made one of his most definitive and direct statements in support of Donald Trump yet during a candidate forum this weekend, all but sloganeering the words “elect Trump”.

“We have got to come together as a party. We cannot lose to Hillary Clinton. We cannot lose the White House,” Rubio said on Saturday, reports the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Then came the money line: “We have to make sure that Donald wins this election.”
