Marco Rubio says rival Chris Christie‘s dismissal of him as unprepared to lead the nation is a sign that the Florida senator is a threat to the New Jersey governor in the GOP nomination fight.
During an interview with CNN, Rubio said, “When people attack you, usually they don’t attack someone who isn’t doing well.”
Rubio nearly beat billionaire Donald Trump for second place in the Iowa caucuses Monday night. Christie finished near the bottom of the crowded GOP field, but has focused his campaign on a strong finish in New Hampshire.
Both landed in New Hampshire with brutal media schedules, determined to spend the week before the Feb. 9 primary wooing voters.
