Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Amanda Sherman-Baity released the following statement on Sen. Marco Rubio:
“Marco Rubio has shown he’s a spineless, self-serving politician who isn’t tough enough to stand up for Florida’s working families in Washington. He has one of the worst attendance records in the Senate – and when he bothers to show up for work he votes against commonsense, bipartisan solutions to lower costs, invest in his state’s infrastructure, and protect Floridians’ freedoms. Rubio represents everything Floridians hate about Washington, and that’s why he’ll be voted out of office in November.”
What to know about Marco Rubio:
Rubio is a no-show senator with one of the worst attendance records in the Senate.
On the issues that matter, Rubio is out of step with Florida’s working families. Rubio has voted against legislation that would invest in and improve Florida’s infrastructure, lower the cost of prescription drugs for Floridians and address supply chain issues while holding China accountable. Following the Supreme Court overturning abortion rights, Rubio reiterated his support for making abortion illegal without exceptions for rape or incest.
Florida newspapers and editorial boards have slammed Rubio, writing that he “lacks a spine” and that it’s “time to give up” on the senator who “will never do the right thing.”
