“At Donald Trump’s donor retreat in Palm Beach last weekend, an unlikely vice presidential contender was busy setting himself apart from the pack,” the Daily Beast reports.
“Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was working the room, according to a donor and attendee, pressing the flesh and quietly setting the stage for a major promotion.”
Said one donor: “He was very aggressive. He was out there, working the room. He had his family with him, which was a staple of his failed 2016 campaign. But people were positive about Marco, there was buzz, and he did pretty well.”
“Gone are the days of ‘Little Marco,’ as Trump used to call him—most infamously in an exchange about the two men’s relative penis sizes. Eight years later, part of Rubio’s appeal on the ticket would be his perceived distance from Trumpworld.”
