Breaking: Trump Taps Marco Rubio for Secretary of State

President-elect Donald Trump officially picked Senator Marco Rubio as his next secretary of state on Wednesday.

Trump said he was greatly honored to nominate the Florida Republican for the cabinet position in his upcoming administration.

“Marco is a Highly Respected Leader, and a very powerful Voice for Freedom,” Trump said in a statement from his presidential transition team. “He will be a strong Advocate for our Nation, a true friend to our Allies, and a fearless Warrior who will never back down to our adversaries.”

Rubio’s nomination, first reported by the New York Times on Monday, requires confirmation by the GOP controlled Senate. Should Rubio be confirmed, Florida governor Ron DeSantis will be tasked with appointing his successor in the upper chamber.

The senator was previously in the running to be Trump’s running mate before Senator J.D. Vance (R., Ohio) was chosen.
