Sen. Marco Rubio is apparently playing hard to get when it comes to beating out the competition and making it as Donald Trump’s VP pick, The New York Times reports.
Through his support behind the scenes, Rubio has become a “leading contender” as the vice president pick, The New York Times reported, citing advisors to Trump.
According to the Times, Rubio hasn’t been keen on joining the president at rallies or hanging out at his Mar-a-Lago home. Rather, he became an “occasional policy advisor” to Trump.
But Rubio’s approach to supporting Trump has apparently confused the former president, who “privately wondered how much the senator wants the job,” the Times writes, citing two people close to Trump.
Rubio is one of over a dozen GOP personalities vying to be Trump’s running mate for 2024, but the former president and the Florida senator have not always been friendly.
The senator ran against Trump during the 2016 GOP primary election, where both candidates tossed insults at each other. Trump called Rubio “Little Marco Rubio,” and Rubio returned fire by saying Trump has small hands. Rubio later came to regret the insult.
