The U.S. Senate voted on Monday to confirm Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida as the Secretary of State for the Trump Administration.
The vote was unanimous, 99-0, with former Sen. JD Vance not voting since he is now the vice president and was busy with Inauguration Day events. As vice president, he is the official president of the Senate and can vote when there is a tie.
It’s President Donald Trump’s first official cabinet member.
Rubio, 53, is the son of Cuban immigrant working class parents and has served in the Senate since 2011. He was Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives from 2006 to 2008 and ran for president in 2016.
Liberation Day in America. And even Princess Lisa pulled her head out long enough to do the right thing.
And that is the way it should be. Congratulations to a congress working together after debate and reviews.
Sad day for the country. Little Marco Rubio is a Uniparty neocon through and through!
Kind of weird, kind of surprising that Trump selected him. Rubio was once a hardcore Trump hater. Hopefully he does well.
At least one serious and capable person in the Cabinet, even though he is a sycophant just like all of the others.
At least Rubio is capable. And you’ll find that the rest will be as well. You don’t have to be deep state to get the job done. ALL of Biden’s cabinet were deep staters. Loved the video of Blinken rocking out on stage with his guitar while Americans were being held by Hamas. Good times. Biden’s cabinet were feckless sycophants and lapdogs chosen for their DEI scores. They made Americans more divided (remember the Red Brandon speech) and left us in a weaker, more dangerous place than when Biden was sworn in.
Lisa voted for one of Trump’s cabinet picks? Why didn’t I hear this earlier? I’d have bought lottery tickets. LOTS of lottery tickets. Don’t worry Trump fans, Lisa will still have plenty of opportunities to screw this up. Remember: we’ll only have one chance to Cheney the Lisa.
On a lighter side, I never once got a snow day when I was up in Alaska and tomorrow, the governor of Florida issued a snow day for all state workers and schools in northern Florida because the icy and snowy road conditions, we’ll be too dangerous. I love this place!!!!
Coming down good now. Closed 65 miles of I-10.
He never was a strong candidate for prez, but he may have had a longer career if he stayed in congress.
Were his parents citizens or permanent residents when he was born in the USA?
Answer:
Marco Rubio’s parents were not U.S. citizens when he was born in Miami on May 28, 1971. They were Cuban immigrants who arrived in the United States in 1956 and became naturalized U.S. citizens in 1975, four years after Rubio’s birth
Never mind, they had green cards in 1971, so “birthright” would have been granted if he were born in late February 2025
