-Rally at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, NC
-Meet with college voters at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC
-Speech in Raleigh, NC, in reaction to the Alternative for Germany's rise on German political scene :


Like all of you, I'm concerned about the rise of the Alternative for Germany in the polls for the next German federal election in 2021. I know it's the German people's choice, but we will never tolerate xenophobia and protectionism, which is bad for national stability and for the economy. Xenophobia means hate and no tolerance for ethnic minorities. Protectionism means closure and higher tariffs, which will hurt the international economy since the cost of trading would be higher. Germany deserves better and doesn't need another Hitler, 75 years after his fall. I wish Angela Merkel's victory next year. As President of the United States, me and Angela Merkel will defend our mutual economic interests and our international security interests as she always did as German Chancellor by fighting terrorism and confronting Russia's military intrusion in Eastern Europe.

My fellow Americans, 244 years ago, our Founding Fathers successfully fought tyranny, declared the independence of a new country named the United States of America and we obtained it through engagement patriotism. During all the 244 years of America's existence, until today, we always fought for our freedom diplomatically, militarily, economically and socially and we always managed to overcome our challenges through conviction and audacity like we will always do. When my parents came here, in Miami, as immigrants, they learned about the opportunities that the American Dream is offering for every single American through hard-working and these opportunities gave their children, including me, a better life, which helped them to make their way in the American society. We need to restore that dream through job creation, free market promotion, immigration reform, education reform and fight against poverty, thus resulting to economic prosperity that will bring the American people together and make the United States of America a united country again.

Thank you and happy Independence Day my friends, God bless you and God bless the United States of America!

Surrogate schedule

June 28, 2020
-Brian Mast campaigns for Marco Rubio in Tallahassee, FL, and praises Rubio's record on veterans and social security :


Like all our men and women in uniform, I fought with courage for America's liberty against terrorism and tyranny. While fighting in Afghanistan, I lost my two legs and one of my fingers because of an explosion. But life gave me a second chance since my lost legs are replaced by robotic legs, and I'm happy to walk again. That's one of the right things to do to take care of our veterans for their courage, their service and their sacrifices.

Marco Rubio is the best man to take care of our veterans. Like all of us, he's grateful of our veterans service for America, a strong and beautiful country. Marco cosponsored the AGREE Act, a bill that gave tax credits for veterans opening a business franchise, so it helps them to find a good paying job and to prosper after their military service. He co-sponsored the 2014 VA reform law by introducing a measure empowering the VA secretary to hold managers accountable for incompetence, negligence and corruption and to care more about veterans than bureaucrats because it's another way to reward our veterans for their military service and their sacrifices for America. And this year, alongside some his Senate colleagues, especially John McCain and Lindsey Graham who are military veterans, Marco Rubio voted in favor of the Help for Heroes Act that passed into law and will increase funding for the VA, as well as a major retraining and housing program for past and future veterans.

After serving their country and fighting tyranny and terrorism, our men and women in uniform need something in return and Marco Rubio knows it. That's why President Marco Rubio will always thank them for their courage and service not only through medals of honour but also through social services and health care services by using the same leadership he adopted in the Senate when it comes to take care of our veterans.

Thank you. God bless Marco Rubio, God bless our veterans and God bless America.

July 3, 2020
-Rand Paul campaigns for Marco Rubio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and praises Rubio's engagement to reduce the size of government, to restore free market and to fight for freedom and democracy :


Since the end of Ronald Reagan's presidency, we did not have a conservative administration in Washington. Since too long, government is too big and is still getting bigger and bigger, thus increasing our national deficit, killing American jobs, increasing poverty. It's been three decades that we are led by a big government administration. We can't wait any longer. Time has come to correct the situation and that's why I support Marco Rubio to be the next President of the United States of America.

He will make us energy independent through increasing oil drilling and help us taking advantage of all of our sources of energy, including renewable ones. He will promote free trade with our allies, thus reducing tariffs and government intrusion in the economy through reduction of the cost of exporting and importing. He will reduce useless government spending in order to balance the budget, cut taxes for every single American. That's the right way to restore prosperity. And as we approach Independence Day, we need to remember that taxes, outrageous taxes, are the reason why we triggered the American Revolution by fighting against the British Empire's tyranny, thus declaring our national independence here in Philadelphia, 244 years ago. Then, we got military help from France, we defeated British troops and we obtained our independence and this glorious honorable victory definitely gave birth to our country : the United States of America. We then drafted the Constitution of the United States in order to protect our rights and our freedom, especially the right to speak, freedom of press, the right to self-defense through owning guns, etc., all rights, freedoms and values that Marco Rubio will defend as President of the United States.

By promoting peace through strength, as Ronald Reagan did, through securing strategic points in the world such as the Black Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Pacific Ocean, we will reduce the need of intervening militarily to attack geopolitical foes such as Iran or North Korea since such increased pression will dissuade them to attack us or our allies. This is exactly Marco Rubio's plan to stop Iran and North Korea from developing their nuclear programs, which will ensure international peace and freedom and save the life of many Americans, civilians or men and women in uniform that won't need to fight and get killed abroad.
God bless you and God bless America.

Thank you my friends, thank you Milwaukee, thank you Wisconsin.

Milwaukee is one of our greatest contributors to America's prosperity through the development of its industry and the Menomonee Valley as well as the Harley-Davidson Museum (a great symbol of America's famous reputation as manufacturing job creator) represent a major example of this matter of fact. Thanks to Milwaukee's access to Lake Michigan and to other Great Lakes, this city, just like all the Midwest and just like all America benefits from free trade. The reason of such prosperity in the Midwest and then to all America is that we put government aside and send it a message that made sure that he should understand that the procedure to keep our prosperity alive is to cut taxes for all Americans, champion businesses, get us energy independence, promote free trade and reduce the cost of doing business in America. That's what I will do as President of the United States to get America back to work.

My friends, I'm here today to announce you who will be my running mate and the next Vice-President of the United States. It's a great reformer. It's a leader who lived the American Dream and grew up in a hard working middle class family just like I did. It's a leader who has the best business experience and background to make a great contribution to America's economic growth. It's a leader who understands the terrible living conditions of our veterans since having a husband sent on a year-long deployment to Afghanistan and a brother who is a retired member of the United States Army Chemical Corps who proudly served our country in the Gulf War. It's a leader who ensured it's state's prosperity by reducing the cost of doing business there, thus making this place the most favourable environment for businesses in the United States, which helped this right-to-work state to attract some large companies like BMW and brought positive effects as well as other companies by reducing corporate income tax rate to 5 %, by abolishing state property tax, local income tax, inventory tax, sales tax on manufacturing equipment, wholesale tax and unitary tax on worldwide profits and by having industrial power or materials for finished products, which boosted job creation and innovation. It's also a leader who managed to keep our country together even after one of the worst shootings in America's history that killed 9 African-Americans in a church at the summer of 2015 by successfully campaigning in favor of removing the Confederate flag from the local State Capitol and it's grounds. That's the right way to defend America's greatness as diversified, united, fair and prosperous country.

My friends, my fellow Americans, I am proud to introduce to you the next Vice-President of the United States of America, Governor Nikki Haley!

[Applause from the audience]

-Nikki Haley's speech as Marco Rubio's running mate :


Thank you so much my friends! Thank you Marco! I'm honored and proud to be selected as your running mate and to contribute to a decisive a great change for our country. And it's an honor to serve America alongside the next President of the United States Marco Rubio.

As Senator Rubio said, I have, just like him, the best background to understand what hard working means since I lived the American Dream. I was born to an Indian Sikh family that came from India to America before my birth. At the age of 12, I began helping with the bookkeeping in Exotica International, my mother's ladies' clothing shop. Then I joined Exotica International ten years later grew to become a multimillion-dollar company. I was named to the board of directors of directors of the Orangeburg County Chamber of Commerce before being named to the board of directors of the Lexington Chamber of Commerce and becoming president of the South Carolina Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners. As Governor of South Carolina, I reduced the cost of doing business in the Palmetto State, reduced corporate income tax rate to 5 %, abolished state property tax, local income tax, inventory tax, sales tax on manufacturing equipment, wholesale tax and unitary tax on worldwide profits, which helped my state to have industrial power or materials for finished products and boosted job creation and innovation. These pro-growth policies made South Carolina the best place to open a new business and reduced the local unemployment rate from 12 % to 5 % during my governorship. I know what it takes to create jobs, to get America back to work and to restore the American Dream just as Marco Rubio does. He will cut taxes for all Americans, champion businesses of all sizes, reduce the cost of doing business in America (which will make America the best place in the world to open a business), promote energy independence by making sure that we take advantage of all of our sources of energy (oil, gas, coal, nuclear, electricity, wind, solar energy, etc.), promote free trade to reduce the cost of trading and make us competitive in the world economy, reform our education system to give our children a chance to get the best job they can be dreaming about and to create the jobs of tomorrow, reform our immigration system, balance our budget, develop our infrastructures through a part of future budget surpluses and reduce our national debt caused by big government policies that kept us from becoming energy independent, increased taxes on the American people and our businesses and increased poverty. That's how Marco Rubio and I will make America more prosperous than it was ever before and get people out of poverty.

Marco Rubio is a great leader who understands what it takes to make the world safe again in this time of growing international terrorism. He will increase defense budget, strengthen and modernize our military and send all the necessary troops and arsenal to defeat ISIS, Al Qaida and international terrorism. He will use all the necessary diplomatic skills he has as well as the necessary arsenal to defend Ukraine from Vladimir Putin's tyranny and corruption, stop Iran and North Korea from pursuing the development of their nuclear programs and to restore international territorial integrity.

I overcome to keep our country together after one of the worst shootings in America's history that killed 9 African-Americans in a church in Charleston at the summer of 2015. I successfully campaigned to remove the Confederate flag from the local State Capitol and it's grounds. Marco Rubio will keep our country together by reforming our immigration system to give immigrants a chance to earn American citizenship and promote school choice. That's the right thing to do to give all ethnic minorities and young people living in America a chance to live the American Dream as Marco Rubio and I did.

Marco Rubio and I will lead America into brighter days by making it fairer, more prosperous, safer and more united than it was ever before. We have an Hispanic at the top of our ticket and an Asian-American serving as his running mate. Today, we have showed America that the Republican Party is not only the party of old white men, but the party of ALL Americans. Like Barack Obama said, there's not a white or black America, there's no Hispanic or Asian America, there's no conservative or liberal America. This is the United States of America!
Thank you! God bless you all and God bless the United States of America!

New polls

As the Democrats will be holding their National Convention this week, Nikki Haley's selection as Marco Rubio's running mate seems to have boosted the Republican presidential nominee in the polls. Rubio is now leading in Michigan by 10 points. This must be due to Haley's business experience (which seems to have an important influence in the birthplace of the automobilie industry) and also to the former South Carolina Governor's decision to remove the Confederate flag from South Carolina's Capitol, which would have helped Rubio increasing his supports among the African-American community that represents an important part of the Wolverine State. He's also leading in the Washington state by two points. Thanks to double diversity in the Republican ticket, formed by a Hispanic and an Asian-American, the Republican Party could break records in terms of attracting minority voters.

Fallon : Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the Republican nominee for President of the United States Marco Rubio.

Rubio : Thank you Jimmy.

Fallon : Now as we speak, some polls signaled that you might become the first Republican since three decades to win some Democratic strongholds because you are now leading in states like Maine, Illinois and the Washington state. How do you feel it?



Rubio : Well that means we are leading a very dynamic campaign proposing an optimistic, bright and collective future for all the American people, conservatives, liberals and independents. We plan to invest into the development of renewable energies with a part of the revenues from increased oil drilling, to invest a part of future budget surpluses into the development of our infrastructures to encourage job creation and business implementation in America and to promote peace through strength by reinforcing our alliances, our military and our presence in some strategic zones like the Pacific or the Black Sea. That's how we are attracting a great number of independent voters as well as some Democrats disappointed of Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine's weak leadership that hurt our economy, made us more dependent on foreign oil and made the world less safe because they understood that after twelve years of such disappointment it's time to follow the path I'm offering them to make their future bright.

Fallon : Recently, one of Tim Ashe's campaign ads accused you of wanting « to deregulate Wall Street even further and lower taxes for the rich. » How do you respond that?

Rubio : First of all, it's strange that Congressman Ashe calls for a minimum wage while Angus King, with whom he was running with, opposed raising Maine's minimum wage by 25 cents per hour while he was Governor of Maine. When it comes to the ad, this statement is inaccurate. I want to cut taxes for all the American people, including the middle class and lower-income Americans, because it's the right way to reinforce their purchasing power, to make sure they find a job and that they will be able to consume. The more jobs we create, the more we increase wages and that's how all Americans, no matter their income, will have a fair chance of succeeding in a fair society like America.

Fallon : Three days ago, you selected Nikki Haley to be your running mate. Why did you select her as your partner and why will she make a good Vice-President of the United States?


Rubio : I selected Governor Haley as my running mate because she's woman of great leadership and integrity. I selected her because I care about all the American people, including women, and all ethnic minorities, including Asian-Americans. So it brought double diversity in our presidential ticket. Because you know if I'm elected, I will be the first Hispanic to become President of the United States and Nikki Haley will become not only the first Asian-American to become Vice-President of the United States but also the first woman at this office. Plus, Governor Haley fought racism by successfully campaigning to remove the confederate flag from South Carolina's Capitol Hill after a psychopath killed 9 African-Americans in a church in Charleston, South Carolina. So African-Americans will understand that we care about them, which will help our party to increase its supports among African-Americans. I also chosen Governor Haley to be my running mate because she and I understand the struggles and challenges our young people are facing today. We are in 2020 and all Millennials are eligible to vote so we can't afford to neglect them because they represent America's future as well as the future of our economy while many baby-boomers are about to go to entitlement. We have to offer young people a path to success, which we are doing by, notably, promoting school choice, reducing their taxes or reducing the cost of doing business in America, which will encourage our young future business owners to open their business here in the United States. By selecting Governor Haley as my running mate, we emphasized our message calling for a restoration of the American Dream, because Nikki and I both lived it and are both children of immigrants. We will reform our broken immigration system in order to give immigrants a chance to live the American Dream, to earn education, to find a good paying job and to succeed in America.
That way, much more elements of the American people will be represented at the White House.

Nikki will make a terrific Vice-President because she has all the necessary executive experience for the job after 8 years as Governor of South Carolina. Together, we are combining legislative AND executive experience. In addition, under her governorship, South Carolina's unemployment rate has plummeted thanks to her economic policies that reduced the cost of doing business in South Carolina, promoting school choice, cutting taxes and attracting some foreign companies in South Carolina such as BMW. Just like I do, she understands what hard working means. For example, when she was a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives she has proposed a plan that would determine a teacher's salary based not only on seniority and qualifications but also on job performance. She also has the business experience to bring economic credibility to our ticket since she worked for Exotica International before being named to the board of directors of the Lexington Chamber of Commerce and becoming president of the South Carolina Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners. In addition, I am a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. So we are forming a team that has all the necessary experience and background to create jobs, bring prosperity back in America and get this country back to work.

Fallon : So do you think the Republican Party's nickname should be changed : from Grand Old Party (GOP) to Grand Young Party (GYP)?

[Laughs and applause from the audience]



Rubio : [Laughs] Maybe! And maybe our party could even be nicknamed the Grand Diverse Young Party (GDYP).


[Laughs and applause from the audience]

Rubio : And when it comes to GOP, in my opinion it means « Grand Opportunity Party ».

[Applause from the audience]

Fallon : As we all know, the Republican National Convention in Las Vegas is coming very soon. Did you start writing your Acceptance speech and how optimistic are you about this upcoming event?

Rubio : First of all, yes I started writing my Acceptance speech for Republican National Convention and believe me it will be a great speech for all the American people. I feel very optimistic about the RNC because it will represent a great opportunity for us to deliver our message for the American people to call them to turn the page on the last twelve dark years and to follow the bright future we are proposing for the sake of our prosperity, our unity and our security.

Fallon : Senator Rubio, thank you and we wish you good campaign and a good RNC.

Rubio : Thank you Jimmy.

BREAKING NEWS

The Donkey comes to Madison

The Democrats held their National Convention in Madison, Wisconsin, from July 12 to July 15, nominating President Tim Kaine. The key speakers were Bill Clinton, Julian Castro, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, George Clooney, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Martin O'Malley and, of course, Vice-President Deval Patrick and President Tim Kaine.

Bill Clinton reminded the audience that one of the main reasons he won in 1992 over George H. W. Bush was because the Republican elctoral base was divided due to Ross Perot's candidacy. He then accused Tim Ashe to divide the progressive vote, which, in his mind, would help the Republicans to win the White House next November, which would « end Obamacare, increase inequalities and get us into unuseful wars ». The former President called for progressive unity to win in November.

Chuck Schumer claims that he's proud of passing the laws of the last four years that « decreased unemployement », briefly before it raised to 8 %, and « reduced ISIS' territory ».

Martin O'Malley questionned Nikki Haley's experience to be Vice-President of the United States.

In his acceptance speech, President Kaine claims he knows « that the American people is angry about the situation we are living today. In the last four years, unemployement went down before rising, which demonstrates that there is still work to do. This work can only be done if we get progressives and liberals together. That way, we can create a New Deal 2.0. »

The Republicans will hold their National Convention in Las Vegas from July 20-23.

While we all know that Hillary Clinton's and Tim Kaine's leadership has failed us in the last four years, the Democrats asked the American people four more years of economic decline, national division, weaker national security and stronger terrorism. We can't afford to do that. We need to reverse that situation.

And I heard Martin O'Malley questioning my running mate's readiness to be vice-president of the United States during the DNC. Let me tell you this Governor O'Malley : Nikki has the executive experience and leadership to be vice-president. She has a better record than you when it comes to take care of the African-American community and kept our people together better than you as Governor. Even if she has only 16 years of background in public service, the American people wants change. Nikki Haley and I will bring change in this country by turning the page on your failed policies.
