盧比奧預定宣佈參加年總統選舉

The race to become the next U.S. president is quickly getting crowded, with Senator Marco Rubio set to announce his bid Monday, a day after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton launched her campaign.

The 43-year-old Rubio, who is the son of Cuban immigrants, is expected to formally join the race at an event Monday evening in Miami at the site where authorities first registered Cubans fleeing the government of Fidel Castro in the 1960s.

A video promoting the announcement casts Rubio's campaign as a "new direction for America." It features clips of speeches where he promotes the need for the U.S. to be a strong world leader and criticizes the policies of President Barack Obama.

Rubio will be the third Republican to compete for the party's nomination for the 2016 election, joining fellow Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush are also expected to run.

Clinton announced her candidacy to be the Democratic nominee in an online video Sunday in which she promised to work for the middle class.美國總統參選人的人數正在迅速增加，馬克·盧比奧參議員定於星期一宣佈參選，而前國務卿希拉里·克林頓於星期日展開了競選活動。

現年43歲的盧比奧是古巴移民的兒子，預計他星期一晚上將在邁阿密的一個地點正式加入總統競選。上世紀60年代，美國當局就是在該地點首次爲逃離菲德爾·卡斯特羅政權的古巴人進行入境登記。

在一段宣傳視頻中，盧比奧的競選活動被稱爲“美國的新方向”。視頻中顯示了盧比奧的講話片段。他指出美國有必要成爲強有力的世界領袖，並批評了奧巴馬總統的政策。

盧比奧將是第三位競爭本黨2016年總統候選人提名的共和黨人，其他兩位是保羅參議員和克魯茲參議員。預計威斯康辛州州長斯科特·沃克和前佛羅里達州州長傑布·布什也將參選。

希拉里·克林頓星期日通過一段網上視頻宣佈將爭取民主黨總統候選人提名，她承諾要爲中產階級效力。
