Trump Nominates Sen. Rubio for Secretary of State

President-elect Donald Trump has officially nominated Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for his secretary of State.

“Marco is a Highly Respected Leader, and a very powerful Voice for Freedom,” Trump said in a press email. “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. I look forward to working with Marco to Make America, and the World, Safe and Great Again!”

Rubio’s confirmation might be easy sailing.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) already announced he plans to vote for Rubio.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) also voiced support for Rubio after working with him on the Intelligence Committee.
