President-elect Donald Trump made a slew of announcements Monday regarding his selections for cabinet positions, and according to the New York Times he will appoint Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as Secretary of State.
The outlet reported:
President-elect Donald J. Trump is expected to name Senator Marco Rubio of Florida as his secretary of state, three people familiar with his thinking said on Monday, as Mr. Trump moves rapidly to fill out his foreign policy and national security team.
Mr. Trump could still change his mind at the last minute, the people said, but appeared to have settled on Mr. Rubio, whom he also considered when choosing his running mate this year.
Rubio has served in the Senate since 2010 and ran for President in 2016. Rubio was on Trump’s short-list for a running mate this year, and stayed a loyal surrogate even after being passed over.
