Watch: Marco Rubio Gets Called Out For Not Showing Up To Support Hurricane Relief Funding
After Marco Rubio failed to show up to vote for hurricane relief funding last week and then told Floridians he would consider voting against federal aid to help rebuild from Hurricane Ian, he’s getting called out for putting his political agenda ahead of what’s best for Florida.

“Voters should really take a look at what their stances are…why Marco Rubio didn’t even show up. We know he has one of the worst records of showing up for work in the Senate. And not showing for a vote where your own constituents’ lives depend on it I think is something he should be held accountable for.”
