Miami Mayor Francis Suarez joined Scripps News' 'Morning Rush' as one of the candidates in a crowded Republican presidential primary.
There has never been a candidate who has gone directly from being a mayor to the presidency. It has also been rare for former mayors to become president later. In an interview with Scripps News'"Morning Rush" on Wednesday, Suarez noted that he won his first mayoral election with 85% of the vote, and was reelected with over 78%.
Suarez's candidacy is certainly a long shot. He is running in a crowded Republican primary against the likes of former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. And polls reflect little traction for his campaign so far.
