Marco Rubio gives up on Republican nomination

Marco Rubio has dropped out of the US presidential race and congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in Florida, Mr Rubio's home state.

With 83 percent of the vote counted, the controversial frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination is on 47 percent. Mr Rubio -- who has criticised Mr Trump as an "embarrassment" to the party -- was on 27 percent.

"It is clear while we are on the right side, this year we will not be on the winning side," he told supporters during his concession speech, which was interrupted by a supporter of Mr Trump yelling, "Trump for president."

Ted Cruz was on 17 percent and John Kasich, perhaps the most moderate of the remaining candidates, 7 percent. Ben Carson, who has already dropped out of the race, was on 1 percent.

Another bean prospect. America thinks he sucks. Even Rubio admits he sucks. Bean is batting 1000 on losers. The kiss of death for Trump? Bean backs him 100%
