When he decided to run for the White House race for president, Marco Rubio said that he wouldn’t seek reelection as U.S. senator to Florida.

And when running for president did not go according to plan and he suspended his campaign in March of this year, the Republican stated he would be dropping out of politics altogether and becoming a “private citizen” come January.

But while in Orlando this week to visit the scene of one of the deadliest terror attacks in U.S. history, he has said that he is now reconsidering joining the Senate race.

“Obviously, I take very seriously everything that’s going on — not just Orlando, but in our country,” Rubio said in a Washington Post story on Wednesday. “I enjoy my service here a lot. So I’ll go home later this week, and I’ll have some time with my family, and then if there’s been a change in our status I’ll be sure to let everyone know.”

A spokesman for the senator’s D.C. office told News 13 that Rubio will not be releasing a public statement about entering the campaign anytime soon.

“I cannot confirm or deny (if Rubio is going to run or not),” the spokesman told News 13.

But it would have to be soon, as the filing deadline to run for the Senate is next week, Friday, June 24.

But if the 45-year-old incumbent decides to reclaim his seat, he has challengers that he has to face off with and not just Democratic ones. He has fellow Republicans he has to defeat before he battles with Democratic opponents.

In fact, the lieutenant governor of Florida and a good friend to Rubio is running and according to a Politico article, it was Carlos Lopez-Cantera who suggested that the senator seek reelection.

While the two were in Orlando to witness the aftermath of the terror attack by Omar Mateen that left 49 dead and 53 wounded, the two had a conversation about the race and Lopez-Cantera gave the idea to Rubio.

“You should reconsider running for your seat,” Lopez-Cantera told Rubio, Politico reported.

The lieutenant governor explained to the online political site that he felt “compelled” to talk to Rubio about the race and what they saw while touring the nightclub and being briefed on what happened.

However, according to Politico, Lopez-Cantera is not stepping out of the race.

And right now, Florida will have to wait to see what the senator will decide to do.
