Sen. Marco Rubio is making his closing arguments in his final TV spot.
According to the Rubio campaign, 30-second spot, called “Debt,” is meant to discuss each generation’s “debt and duty to the next.
“America is the greatest country in the world, and keeping it that way is every generation’s debt to the next,” he says in the advertisement. “Today, our country is more divided than ever and our challenges are growing more grave, threatening who we are and everything we hope to be.”
He goes on to say the upcoming election “is about the future, and about keeping America the one place in the world where any dream can still come true.”
