abcnews.comHere’s the latest overview I can provide based on historical records.
Direct answer:
- There is no current news about Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign, as the 2016 cycle ended with Rubio suspending his bid in March 2016 after Florida’s primary results.
Context and key points from that period:
- Rubio suspended his campaign on March 15, 2016, following his loss in the Florida primary, effectively ending his bid for the Republican nomination. The announcement occurred in Miami, and he credited the campaign with important achievements while warning against divisive politics.[1][2]
- Prior to suspending, Rubio had positioned himself as an alternative to frontrunner Donald Trump, emphasizing establishment credentials, though polls in Florida showed him trailing Trump in that critical state.[2][3]
- Rubio’s final campaign events occurred around mid-Mamph 2016, with his last rally the night before the Florida results in West Palm Beach, and his speech signaling the end of his presidential run.[3][4]
