President-elect Donald Trump named Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as his pick for secretary of state in a Wednesday statement.
After reports that Rubio would be getting the nod from Trump, the former president made it official.
He wrote that the Florida senator is an “Advocate for our Nation, a true friend to our Allies and a fearless Warrior.” Rubio was in the running to be Trump’s vice president before hitting the campaign trail as a surrogate for the now president-elect.
