Progressives were surprised, confused, and frustrated by Senator Marco Rubio last week. “I definitely didn’t have Marco Rubio being more pro worker than Joe Biden on my 2022 bingo card,” one tweeted. “UGH, UGH, UGH…When Marco Rubio is more pro-labor than Joe Biden,” tweeted another. Progressive publications castigated congressional allies with headlines like “Senate Democrats Need to Fight Harder Than Marco Rubio for Rail Workers,” while offering the Florida senator reluctant respect: “Rubio is wrong about a lot of things. But he is right about this.”
