Rubio pivots, attacking Hillary Clinton after a strong debate showing
- 9 years ago
Fresh off a strong debate performance, Sen. Marco Rubio pivoted his attacks to the general election and Hillary Rodham Clinton, in an effort to move beyond the intraparty sniping that characterized Wednesday night's debate.
Wednesday night's CNBC debate was the moment Rubio needed to emerge from the fray, but his task in his morning after victory lap was to appear presidential - and ready to take on Clinton in a general election debate.
During the congressional hearing on Benghazi "it was revealed that Hillary Clinton knew early on and was telling her family and telling her friends that the attack on the consulate was by terrorists, al-Qaeda-like terrorists," Rubio said on CNN.
Despite his tactical victory in the debate tangle with Bush, Rubio made an effort to distance himself from his own comments that in the past suggested that he had given up on his day job in the Senate in favor of running for president.
