Rubio acknowledges ‘people are struggling’ economically in speech after GOP midterm wipeout
Rubio said global legal institutions are being used to weaken the United States and defended the Trump administration’s foreign policy and immigration actions.
- On Friday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention in Washington, downplaying recent Republican midterm losses by stating "great things that last are built in decades, not election cycles."
- Voters angry over higher costs delivered massive losses to the Republican Party in last week's midterm elections, blaming the administration for tariffs, the Iran war, and unfulfilled promises to lower prices.
- Rubio defended the Iran war as necessary to prevent nuclear proliferation, while accusing the International Criminal Court of "weaponization of international law" to constrain United States interests.
- Though the former Florida senator avoided discussing 2028 presidential prospects, his address follows similar speeches in Greece and mounting speculation about a potential run against Vice President JD Vance.
- Rubio asserted that economic prosperity is "not self-perpetuating," warning the current generation risks leaving the next worse off unless leaders commit to long-term undertakings rather than short-term election cycles.
