Newly announced presidential candidate Marco Rubio spoke Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep. Excepts from NPR News:

 On his plan to run for president in 2016, Rubio says: “Clearly, as you see the history of the presidency, people that go into that office grow, the office helps you grow as well as you go through it and that’s, having the ability to learn is a big part of the office as well. But I’m certainly capable from day one. I’m very confident that I have the capability from day number one to lead this country.”

On whether a lack of immigration legislation ahead of the 2016 election could affect his campaign, Rubio says: “Well, I don’t know about the others, but I’ve done more immigration than Hillary Clinton ever did. I mean, I helped pass an immigration bill in a Senate dominated by Democrats. And that’s more than she’s ever done. She’s given speeches on it, but she’s never done anything on it.”
