Marco Rubio: My family is on board with White House run

“I’m always concerned about my family,” Rubio said. “But I think we’ve surmounted those concerns.”

The senator explained that his wife and children understood when he ran for Congress in 2010 that if elected, he could quickly become a national figure – and soon be considered for national office.

“When it comes to the aspects of running for president, I think we clearly understand what it means, the sacrifice it entails—not just for the next 18 months, but for the next eight years of service to our country. And it’s a decision we’ve made in terms of being prepared to do that,” Rubio said. “So that issue has been surmounted in my mind.”
