Sen. Marco Rubio said Friday he’s not down by double digits in Florida and that he’s the only candidate voters in the state should be looking to if they want to slow down GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump.
“We’re not down by double digits. I’ve always acknowledged that it was going to be a tough fight here in Florida, but we’re making real progress,” Mr. Rubio said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “I love all the trends that are happening.”
He said there are a significant number of voters who are now making up their minds and who he thinks will head his way.
“There’s a lot of Kasich and Cruz supporters who realize that neither John Kasich nor Ted Cruz has any chance to win in Florida, and if they don’t want Donald Trump to be our nominee, then voting for John Kasich or Ted Cruz in Florida is a vote for Donald Trump,” he said.
