Republican Presidential hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio heads to Connecticut this week. He’ll be the keynote speaker Thursday at the 37th Prescott Bush Awards Dinner in Stamford.
One of Rubio’s likely rivals for the GOP nomination for president is the grandson of Prescott Bush -- and Rubio’s political mentor -- former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who delivered the keynote at the Prescott Bush Awards Dinner in 2014.
Speaking on CBS’s "Face The Nation" in April, Rubio called it “a unique situation.”
“There comes a point in time where if you have an opportunity to serve your country...at its highest office,” he said, “It’s an opportunity I had to take seriously. But at the end of the day, it won’t change how I feel about Governor Bush; he will remain my friend and someone I admire both personally and politically.”
On Sunday, Jeb Bush told the show's retiring moderator Bob Schieffer that he had not made a decision yet on whether to run for president.
The Prescott Bush Awards Dinner is the Connecticut Republican Party’s largest annual event.
