Crowley Political Report

In an exclusive interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, newly-minted 2016 presidential candidate Marco Rubio says he, "absolutely" feels like he is the most qualified candidate to be president.

One suspect that fellow candidate and Floridian, Jeb Bush, as well as some other cand: Iidates, may disagree.

Here's what Rubio told ABC:

"I think this country's at a generational moment where it needs to decide not what party it wants in charge but what kind of country are we going to want to be moving forward?" Rubio told Stephanopoulos in an interview at the Florida senator’s home. "I think the 21st century can be the American century, and I believe that I can lead this country in that direction. I can help lead it there from the Senate. I can lead it there as president.”

When asked whether Rubio believed if he was the most qualified candidate to be president, he said: “I absolutely feel that way.”
