US Republican Senator Marco Rubio says the GOP’s future is  based on seeking coalition with the working class. 

“The future of the party is based on a multiethnic, multiracial working class coalition,” Rubio said in an interview with Alayna Treene of Axios released Wednesday. 

The Florida senator further suggested that the GOP is on the path to lose Trump’s base quite soon. 

“If the takeaway from all of them is now is the time to go back to sort of the traditional party of unfettered free trade, I think we're gonna lose the [Trump] base as quickly as we got it. ... We can't just go back to being that,” he said.

Rubio, who ran against Trump in 2016 primaries, made similar remarks in another interview on Fox News.

What I mean by ‘working-class party’ is normal, everyday people who don’t want to live in a city where there is no police department, where people rampage through the streets every time they are upset about something.” he said.  

Trump made surprising gains among Latino voters this year and appeared to do better among Republican voters in the disputed race against President-elect Joe Biden.
