<p>In wake of the Orlando shooting, Florida Senator Marco Rubio seems to be reconsidering his decision not to run for re-election. If elected, Rubio could mean the difference between Republican and Democratic control in the Senate. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Obviously, I take very seriously everything that&rsquo;s going on &#8211; not just Orlando, but in our country,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve enjoyed my service here a lot. So I&rsquo;ll go home later this week, and I&rsquo;ll have some time with my family, and then if there&rsquo;s been a change in our status, I&rsquo;ll be sure to let everyone know,&rdquo; he said on Wednesday. ;</p>
<p>Leading GOP candidate Carlos Ló;pez-Cantera is poised to take Rubio&rsquo;s seat when his term ends, but has vowed to step down if Rubio decides to run. ;&ldquo;I have asked Sen. Marco Rubio to reconsider his decision and enter the senate race,&rdquo; writes Ló;pez-Cantera. &ldquo;The decision is his and his alone to make&hellip;I am still in this race and nothing has changed. However, if Marco decides to enter this race, I will not be filing the paperwork to run for the US Senate.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The deadline for that paperwork is June 24th, so he better make up his mind soon. ;</p>
<p>Rubio ;is under considerable pressure from GOP leaders who worry that their party may lose the presidential election and control of the senate in one fell swoop. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;He [Rubio] is one of the stars of our party,&rdquo; says ;Florida Rep. David Jolly.</p>
<p>Even Donald Trump has come out in support of his one-time rival. &#8220;Poll data shows that @MarcoRubio does by far the best in holding onto his Senate seat in Florida. Important to keep the MAJORITY. Run Marco!&#8221; said Trump on Twitter last month. ;</p>
