The good news is he has a major Congressional Republican endorsement. The bad news is who it's from.
"Marco Rubio, despite being the republican establishment darling of 2016, is twenty points behind in his own party’s primary race and has struggled to garner endorsements from republican luminaries. Now Rubio has landed a high profile endorsement from a republican congressman, and ordinarily it would be something to write home about. The trouble in this case: the endorsement is coming from Trey Gowdy, who was last seen being crushed by Hillary Clinton during the Benghazi hearings."
"Can Rubio be serious about wanting the endorsement of a congressman who is widely considered the biggest punchline in all of congress? Trey Gowdy is, after all, the guy who insisted on pushing forward with the Benghazi witch hunt against Clinton while the rest of his party had largely moved on from the losing battle. Gowdy spent eleven hours being embarrassed by Clinton in a face-off that was so one sided, it boosted her poll numbers and made the issue disappear from the election cycle entirely. But, considering the way things are going, Rubio is just that desperate."
"Thus far Marco Rubio has earned the endorsement of zero current republican governors and just three of his fellow republican senators. Accordingly he’s not only significantly behind republican frontrunner Donald Trump, he’s also losing badly to extremist senate rival Ted Cruz. So now Rubio will try his luck by taking the biggest loser of 2015, Trey Gowdy, out on the road with him. Good luck."

Yes, Gowdy is still removing the egg from his face now. Trump not surprisingly had something to say about that:
"Donald Trump on Sunday morning bashed Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), the chair of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, following reports that the congressman will soon endorse Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for the Republican presidential nomination."
"Trump criticized Gowdy's performance at an October hearing with Hillary Clinton on the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, during an appearance on "Fox and Friends."
"His hearings were a disaster. Everybody was looking forward to something that was going to be really productive. And he didn't win with those hearings. It was a total not-good for Republicans and for the country," Trump said, according to Business Insider.
"I mean, beyond Republicans it was very bad for the country," he continued, according to Business Insider. "So I hope he does a lot better for Marco than he did for the Benghazi hearings. Because they were not good. That was not a pretty picture."

Yep, disaster pretty much sums Gowdy's investigation up.
