Rubio was not scheduled to re-run for his seat while "Running for President" in 2016. At the last minute when it was beyond obvious he was not going to receive the GOP Nomination, he flip-flopped on his earlier statement.

The Date of this Receipt is 2/16/2018. Let's Follow When Rubio Dropped Out of His "Race for President"...

Rubio gives up on Senate: ‘He hates it’ - Washington Post - OCTOBER 25, 2015

Marco Rubio is a U.S. senator. And he just can’t stand it anymore.

“I don’t know that ‘hate’ is the right word,” Rubio said in an interview. “I’m frustrated.”

This year, as Rubio runs for president, he has cast the Senate — the very place that cemented him as a national politician — as a place he’s given up on, after less than one term. It’s too slow. Too rule-bound. So Rubio, 44, has decided not to run for his seat again. It’s the White House or bust.

“That’s why I’m missing votes. Because I am leaving the Senate. I am not running for reelection,” Rubio said in the last Republican debate, after Donald Trump had mocked him for his unusual number of absences during Senate votes.


BUT REMEMBER -- Marco Rubio "Changed His Mind". When did this happened....

Marco Rubio will seek Senate reelection, reversing pledge not to run | Washington Post | JUNE 22, 2016

"Sen. Marco Rubio said Wednesday he will seek reelection to the Senate, reversing a pledge he made a year ago to either assume the presidency or return to private life in Florida. The decision instantly transforms an already competitive race and improves Republicans’ chances of maintaining the Senate majority.

Rubio (R-Fla.) issued a lengthy statement explaining his decision to reverse course, citing the Senate’s power to “act as a check and balance on the excesses of a president” as a central reason.

“Control of the Senate may very well come down to the race in Florida,” he said. “That means the future of the Supreme Court will be determined by the Florida Senate seat. It means the future of the disastrous Iran nuclear deal will be determined by the Florida Senate seat. It means the direction of our country’s fiscal and economic policies will be determined by this Senate seat. The stakes for our nation could not be higher.”


And Where Was Marco Rubio In The GOP "Presidential Race" Polls on or around February 16, 2016... Well...

Rubio was in THIRD PLACE, Behind Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, According To The Quinnipiac February 16, 2018 -- POLL

So Here IS THE QUESTION... Was MARCO RUBIO $$$$ PAID By the RUSSIANS To DROP OUT of the PRESIDENTIAL RACE and RE-RUN for The Florida SENATE SEAT, Instead?
