Yet another GOP candidate is tossing his hat into the ring for the 2016 presidential race.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio is planning an announcement for 6 p.m. EST Monday that he will run for president in 2016, capping off months of speculation that the Miami-born lawmaker would be making a run for the presidency. In a conference call Monday morning, Rubio informed his donors of his plans to run.
What is Rubio's path to the nomination, if there is one? What does he have to do in order to win the GOP establishment vote? What about the Latino vote?
