The Marco Rubio for President campaign is releasing a new television ad called “Because” that will begin airing in select markets Iowa, starting Monday. It’s footage from a speech where Rubio discusses one of his main themes that has branded his campaign since it officially kicked off in Miami last March – that this election is a generational choice.

“Before us now is the opportunity to author the greatest chapter yet in the amazing story of America,” Rubio says. “But we can’t do that by going back to the leaders and ideas of the past. We must change the decisions we are making by changing the people who are making them.”

Rubio has been making that argument all year long, and if he were to become the GOP nominee in 2016, he surely would be continuing to use it in a battle against Hillary Clinton, where there is a 24-year age gap between them.
