Marco Rubio says he's not interested in being vice president

Now that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has ended the presidential bid that he gave up his seat in the Senate for, the big question is what's next for the Florida senator once his term is up. In an interview Thursday, Rubio ruled out at least a couple suggestions.
"I'm not going to be vice president. I'm not running for governor of Florida," Rubio told reporters on his first day back on Capitol Hill. "I'm going to finish up my term in the Senate. Over the next 10 months we're gonna work really hard here and we have some things we want to achieve. And then I'll be a private citizen in January."
Rubio suspended his Republican presidential bid Tuesday night after losing his home state of Florida to frontrunner Donald Trump.
