Marco Rubio On "Fox and Friends"

right now joining us from Washington is Marco Rubio Senate candidate for the state of Florida morning to Mr Rubio good

morning thanks for having me on I do you feel like the fan you you're traveling all over Florida as

you %HESITATION stumped for Senate are the people of Florida happy with the federal response where they got paid
