SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio is pitching himself as a fresh face in his party’s crowded primary contest.
The Florida senator spoke to about 300 people at a rally in Salt Lake City on Monday before heading off to a private fundraiser nearby.
The 44-year-old Rubio spoke about outdated government policies that haven’t kept up with disruptive technologies such as ride-hailing company Uber.
He called the 2016 election “a generational choice,” a remark seen as a subtle jab at 62-year-old Jeb Bush, a fellow Florida Republican.
Rubio didn’t mention Bush or any of the other 2016 contenders by name.
