Rubio acknowledges ‘people are struggling’ economically in speech after GOP midterm wipeout
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during a recent speech to fellow conservatives, acknowledged that Americans are currently struggling economically. He emphasized that the health of the economy is more than just the stock market; it's about whether people can afford the basic necessities in life. Rubios comments came at a time when his Republican Party suffered significant losses in the midterm elections, largely attributed to voter anger over higher costs.
The Secretary of State defended the Iran war, asserting that it was necessary to prevent the Islamic Republic from acquiring nuclear weapons. However, he admitted that the conflict has led to increased gasoline prices and other related expenses. Rubio underscored the importance of leaders ensuring the next generation is better off than the previous one, emphasizing that economic prosperity is not self-perpetuating and requires sustained efforts over years and decades.
He also criticized the weaponization of international law by international organizations, accusing them of trying to limit the U.S. from acting in its best interests.
