Politico:

In a speech to a Republican Group in Miami Dade County today, Sen. Rubio announced his intention to retire in 2022.

"You know, gridlock is poisoning Washington. Nothing bipartisan is getting done. The job is very dull. And you know, maybe I'm part of the problem. So I'll leave after this term." said Rubio

Rubio was expected to be safe for a third term if he did run. Now his retirement gives Dems a window of opportunity.

Geez, I can’t believe I fell for this one for a millisecond. I’ll leave it to the psychoanalysts and rhetoricians to explain how this happened.

This is actually believable, but still not falling for it. He retired in 2016 and then they literally begged him to come back and he wants to run in 2024, so yeah not happening

R+0.000001 is the inevitable result of this race, in that case. Unless Sanders runs, of course.
