Senate Confirms Marco Rubio as Secretary of State in 99-0 Vote on Inauguration Day
Jan 20, 2025, 11:54 PM
On Inauguration Day, the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, giving President Donald Trump the first member of his Cabinet in his second term. The confirmation vote was 99-0, reflecting strong bipartisan support. Rubio, a Republican from Florida, concludes his 14-year Senate career to assume the role of the nation's top diplomat. The move continues a tradition of presidents having at least one nominee confirmed on Inauguration Day. Rubio, a former rival turned ally of Trump, is set to become a key figure in U.S. foreign policy.
