Marco Rubio, First Hispanic Nominee, Faces Senate Confirmation for Secretary of State with Broad Support
Jan 15, 2025, 02:04 AM
Marco Rubio, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump as Secretary of State, is set to face the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for his confirmation hearing. Rubio, a three-term senator from Florida and the son of Cuban immigrants, would be the first Hispanic to hold the position. He has expressed strong views on China, planning to state in his opening remarks that China has 'lied and cheated its way to superpower status at the expense of the US.' Rubio also plans to reject the 'liberal world order' favored by the US elite, advocating instead for an 'America First' foreign policy. His nomination is expected to be among the least contentious of Trump's cabinet picks, with broad support from both Republican and Democratic senators.
