Senator Marco Rubio said Monday that he didn’t want “politics to intrude” upon discussion of this weekend’s terrorist attack in his home state. But when pressed by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, the Florida Republican suggested he is rethinking his decision not to run for reelection to the U.S. Senate.
“When it visits your home state, when it impacts a community you know well, it really gives you pause to think a little bit about your service to your country, and where you can be most useful to your country,” Rubio told Hewitt, who asked about how the Sunday nightclub shooting in Orlando could make him rethink his political plans.
