President-elect Trump is expected to Nominate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to serve as Secretary-of-State. Rubio’s selection to serve as Trump’s Ttop Diplomat completes a drastic Turnaround from 2016, when the Two were Fierce Rivals in a GOP Presidential Primary. Earlier this year, Trump nearly chose Rubio as His Running Mate, before selecting Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).
Multiple Lawmakers and Trump Allies took to Social Media to Congratulate the Senator.
“He will restore American leadership around the world, especially in Latin America, as he represents the United States with dignity and courage!” Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) posted on X. “It’s been an honor to serve the people of Florida alongside him and look forward to continuing our work together.”
The Florida Senator is seen as a Foreign Policy Hawk, who is tough on China and Iran. In a September interview with NBC, Rubio said it was apparent the War between Ukraine and Russia would end “with a Negotiated Settlement.”
Trump has vowed to quickly Restore his “America First” foreign policy vision upon taking office. He has expressed skepticism about continued U.S. support for Ukraine, in its war against Russia, and called for European Allies to do more to Aid Kyiv and to Support their own Defense through the NATO Alliance.
Rubio’s Selection comes as Trump has rapidly rolled out His National Security Team.
Rubio is expected to be Confirmed by His Colleague. His Departure will Narrow an expected GOP Majority in the Senate until a Special Election.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) will Appoint a Replacement for Rubio, to fill the Seat until the next Statewide Election.
