## Summary

Marco Rubio praised his daughter Daniella after she introduced him at the Federalist Society’s National Lawyers Convention on Friday. His first speech since Republicans’ losses in the midterm elections took an optimistic tone, urging conservatives to focus on long-term goals rather than judging their prospects by one election.

Daniella is a third-year law student at the University of Virginia and Rubio’s youngest child; he and his wife Jeanette have four children. Asked how he passed on a love of freedom, Rubio joked that his home “was not a democracy”, adding that he was the family’s “minister of defense”. He also recalled Republicans’ losses in the 1982 midterms under Ronald Reagan, arguing that lasting achievements take decades.
