Sen. Marco Rubio turned his attention to New Hampshire and the rest of the country on Tuesday, following a [third-place finish in the Iowa caucus](http://time.com/4203726/iowa-caucus-results-marco-rubio-donald-trump-ted-cruz/) that positioned him firmly in the race for the Republican nomination.

“We feel great about the momentum that gives us coming in here to New Hampshire a week from today,” Rubio said on Fox News on Tuesday, speaking from a diner in New Hampshire.

Experts have described Rubio’s Iowa performance as a victory that turns the wide Republican field into a [three-person race](http://time.com/4203726/iowa-caucus-results-marco-rubio-donald-trump-ted-cruz/) and shows the Florida Senator is the favored establishment candidate compared to [Donald Trump](http://time.com/4203728/donald-trump-iowa-loser/) and [Ted Cruz](http://time.com/4203690/iowa-caucuses-ted-cruz/). But when asked whether he saw himself as the moderate conservative in the race, Rubio demurred on Tuesday.

“I always reject all these sorts of labels, other than to tell you that I’m as conservative as anyone running for president, but I believe I can grow the conservative movement—and that’s what’s important about our candidacy too. I can take the conservative movement to people who are living today the way that I grew up,” he said.

Rubio also received the [coveted endorsement of South Carolina Senator Tim Scott](http://time.com/4203605/iowa-caucus-marco-rubio-tim-scott-south-carolina/), a key Republican whose support Rubio expects will help him as he focuses his campaign in battleground states across the country.

“He embodies the American dream. He embodies so much of what our party needs to be about and that is people who come from challenging backgrounds and circumstances.He doesn’t come from a privileged background and neither do I, and we are both conservatives,” Rubio said. “Obviously, I’m a huge admirer of his, and I think his impact is going to be not just in South Carolina, but across the country.”


## Transcript

[00:00] [ MUSIC ] Thank you.
[00:05] [ APPLAUSE ] So, this is the moment they said would
[00:09] never happen. [ APPLAUSE ]
[00:14] For months they told us we had no chance. For months
[00:17] they told us because we offered to much optimism in a time
[00:20] of anger, we had no chance. For months they told us
[00:23] because we didn't have the right endorsements, or the
[00:25] right political connections, we had no chance. They
[00:30] told me that we had no chance because my hair wasn't
[00:33] gray enough and my boots were too high. Tonight,
[00:41] here in Iowa, The people of this great state have sent a
[00:45] very clear message. After seven years of Barrack Obama,
[00:48] we are not waiting any longer to take our country back.
[00:52] [ APPLAUSE ] When I am our nominee, we are going to
[00:56] unify this party and we are going to unify the conservative
[00:59] movement. [ APPLAUSE ].
[01:02] [ APPLAUSE ]
[01:04] When I'm our nominee we are going to grow the
[01:07] conservative movement. We are going to take our
[01:09] message to the people who are struggling paycheck to
[01:12] paycheck, to the students living under the burden of
[01:14] student loans, to the families struggling to raise their
[01:17] children with the right values. We will take our message to
[01:21] them and we will bring them to our side. When I am a
[01:24] nominee, we will unite our party, we will grow our party,
[01:28] and we will defeat Hilary Clinton, or Bernie Sanders, or
[01:31] whoever they nominate! [ APPLAUSE ]
