If so , would put it directly against current Sen Marco Rubio, also a resident of Miami, in the primary, according to the New York Post.
In mid-January 2021, Politico reported that Kushner has "worked resolutely to protect and promote his wife's" political career ", including" calling people and trying to line them up saying that Rubio is terrible, useless ".
So when Rubio Fox News appeared on Sunday, host Chris Wallace raised the rumors and the senator responded. Let's take a look at how Rubio, never Trump-er-turned Trump supporter, responded to the possibility of a challenge from Ivanka Trump.
