DNC National Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach issued the follow statement on the endorsement by South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley of Senator Marco Rubio's White House bid:

"Given Governor Haley's weak record in South Carolina, her decision to endorse a candidate with little record of his own makes perfect sense. In fact, on the issues that matter most to South Carolinians, she has failed to lead. Governor Haley refuses to establish<http://www.dol.gov/whd/minwage/america.htm#SouthCarolina> a state minimum wage, which would help nearly 595,000 South Carolinians make ends meet. She has steadfastly opposed the expansion<https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/medicaidmissedopportunities2015_final_v3.pdf> of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, which would allow 160,000 South Carolinians to gain health insurance. And her administration has failed to adequately address childhood poverty, an issue that affects the lives of far too many<http://www.nccp.org/profiles/SC_profile_7.html> South Carolinians. It's no surprise Haley feels comfortable lending her name to Rubio, a candidate whose campaign has been desperately trying to hide his own lack of actual accomplishments."
