‘Run Marco!’: Trump Urges Rubio to Run For Reelection After Months of Mocking Him

Donald Trump urged Florida Sen. Marco Rubio to reconsider his decision not to run for reelection to the Senate in a late-night tweet Thursday, hours after the Republican lawmaker said he would “certainly” speak on behalf of the presumptive GOP nominee.

Trump wrote, “Poll data shows that Marco Rubio does by far the best in holding onto his Senate seat in Florida. Important to keep the MAJORITY. Run Marco!”

Rubio, who was a staunch critic of Trump before bowing out of the race for the White House, voiced a sharp turn in rhetoric, telling CNN host Jake Tapper Thursday that he plans to go to the GOP Convention in July, adding, “I want to be helpful. I don’t want to be harmful because I don’t want Hillary Clinton to be president.”

Trump then echoed that major turnaround. But the history between the two men is anything but friendly.

In one of the most reported moments of the primary contest, Trump mocked Rubio’s famous water bottle gaffe during a rally in Texas, sloshing around an open bottle of water, shouting, “It’s Rubio!”

During the heat of his battle against the billionaire businessman, Rubio sought to capitalize on the anti-Trump sentiment, even selling several products bearing the hashtag #NeverTrump.

And there was no love lost on Trump’s Twitter account, either, where he frequently suggested Rubio, who he nicknamed “Little Marco,” was a “lightweight” and part of the “establishment.”

All in all, this latest development from both camps seems to be an effort to bring the many sections of the fractured Republican Party together around the GOP nominee.

      By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.

      The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.

      Algorand Partners With FIFA World Cup

      By caminando · Posted

      FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.
