"Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), the son of Cuban immigrants who made a remarkably rapid ascent through Florida politics, announced that he is running for president Monday afternoon, in front of supporters in Miami.
"Tonight, grounded by the lessons of our history, but inspired by the promise of our future, I announce my candidacy for president of the United States," Rubio said, in front of a banner with the slogan "A New American Century."
"I know my candidacy might seem improbable to some watching from abroad. After all, in many countries, the highest office in the land is reserved for the rich and the powerful," Rubio continued, to cheers and chants of "Marco! Marco!" "But I live in an exceptional country...I live in an exceptional country where the son of a bartender and a maid can have the same dreams and the same future as those who come from power and privilege."
