Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) clashed early on in Wednesday debate

‘Resign and let someone else take the job': Jeb Bush blasts Marco Rubio over missed Senate votes


Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) clashed early on in Wednesday’s primetime Republican candidate debate following a question on Rubio’s missed Senate votes.

“Marco, when you signed up for this, this was a six-year term, and you should be showing up to work,” Bush said. “What is this, like a French work week? You can campaign, or just resign and let someone else take the job”

Rubio shot back by noting that Bush had been saying at campaign stops that he was modeling his “furious comeback” after the party’s 2008 nominee, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).

“I don’t remember you ever complaining about John McCain’s vote record,” Rubio said. “The only reason you’re doing it now is ’cause we’re running for the same position, and someone has convinced you that attacking me is gonna help you.”
