INDIANOLA, Ia. — Marco Rubio credited his “issues-based, ideas-based, solutions-based” campaign for cinching an endorsement Saturday by The Des Moines Register, whose editorial board called him the Republican Party’s “best hope.”
Just 10 days before the Feb.1 Iowa caucuses, the editorial called attention to the Florida senator’s policies that resonate with families, the middle class and small businesses — and could bring more people to the GOP.
“Sen. Marco Rubio has the potential to chart a new direction for the party, and perhaps the nation, with his message of restoring the American dream,” it said.
But Rubio told the audience at Simpson College that “I’d rather have your endorsement,” which prompted chuckles from the crowd. “But I’m grateful for it. But I still want you to caucus for me.”
