Rubio Picks Up SC Senator Endorsement

South Carolina’s senior Sen.

Scott’s endorsement would be a boost in SC for Rubio who has struggled to break through in a crowded Republican field dominated by Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Scott’s endorsement is expected Tuesday, the day after the Iowa caucuses, three sources confirmed to Politico.

“We have one shot in 2016 to beat Hillary Clinton”, Scott says in the video.

Rubio has also been endorsed by South Carolina GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy.

Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, who has become S.C. most popular politician after her handling of the Charleston church shooting, might wait until after the New Hampshire primary to back a presidential candidate.

(CNN) – South Carolina Sen. “This is not a time for waiting”, Rubio said Monday night.

For example, Rubio says “criticizes New York values but has raised millions of dollars from New York City”. McMaster’s support for the NY billionaire developer was a surprising move for a politician entrenched in the state’s GOP establishment as a former state party chairman.

Asked about other Republican rivals, including John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, Rubio campaign spokesman Alex Conant said none have a pathway forward to the nomination without winning the next primary in New Hampshire.
