Rubio to give Republican response to state of union

The leader of the House of Representatives, Speaker John Boehner, and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, both Republicans, announced the selection of Rubio on Wednesday, calling him a strong advocate of conservative principles.

Rubio will speak after Obama's prime-time address before Congress, offering a counterweight to the president's agenda. The high-profile speech also gives Rubio, a broad national audience for a party that lacks a true standard-bearer after Obama's re-election.
