The Florida senator urged his party to focus on showing voters that “Republicans are the party of working-class Americans, a party that reaches out to people of all races and creeds, and a party that fights for equal opportunity for all.” He continued by using Trump’s election victory in Florida as an example of how Republicans can appeal to a diverse range of working-class Americans. “Republicans have built a multi-ethnic, working-class coalition of Florida voters who don’t like big government, don’t like socialism and just want the opportunity to live their lives in freedom and peace,” he wrote....
