A civil war has erupted within the Marco Rubio campaign, with some donors suggesting he drop out before Florida’s primary and his paid staff urging the Senator to stay the course. This, according to Fox Business Network.

Earlier in the day, senior correspondent Charles Gasparino reported that Rubio’s “money-men here in New York” were telling him that “barring some better polling … he will likely suspend before Florida.” The feeling in the Rubio campaign, he said was “despair.” “They don’t see a path to victory and they think it is better to get out sooner rather than later.”

Rubio’s chief spokesman Alex Conant issued an immediate denial:

I know for a fact this report is 100% false. Marco will be on debate stage tomorrow & 100% committed to winning FL https://t.co/OkovKzdyGG

In his updated report, Gasparino says in the wake of Rubio picking up zero delegates Tuesday night and internal polls showing him far behind in Florida, major donors today have been strongly urging Rubio to drop out now. “They say the candidate has listened to their logic that by remaining in the campaign and losing his home state to Trump, Rubio would go a long way to handing the nomination to Trump.” One GOP operative warned, “If Trump wins and the GOP gets trounced, possibly even losing the senate, Marco will then take the fall.”

At the same time, says Gasparino, campaign staff is telling Rubio that if he drops out early, he would “look like a loser,” and hurt his long-term presidential prospects. “So far,” says Gasparino, “he appears to be siding with the staffers.”

The Fox Business Network report comes a day after a similar CNN report cited Rubio “advisers” as saying Marco was contemplating exiting the race now to “avoid getting killed in his home state.” Conant called that story “fiction.”

As of now, Marco is planning to be on stage Thursday night for CNN’s debate.

Rubio was also expected to meet Wednesday with former mentor and rival Jeb Bush. Bush is in Miami to meet with all the remaining GOP candidates not named “Trump.” Deciding who to endorse? Sharing a strategy to beat Trump? Apologizing to Marco for the “back-bencher” description of Rubio a few weeks back? It’s unknown. The meetings are private.
