Amid speculation about his political future, Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared that there is more work to be done as he downplayed Republicans’ losses in the midterm elections.

“We have much more to do over the next two, the next six, the next 20 years. Great things that last are built in decades, not election cycles,” Rubio said in an address to the conservative Federalist Society’s National Lawyers Convention in Washington, DC, on Friday evening.
