Nov 12, 2024, 03:00 PM

Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has announced his intention to vote in favor of confirming Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as Secretary of State, should he be nominated by President-elect Donald Trump. Fetterman's support makes him the first Democrat to publicly back Rubio for this position, potentially easing Rubio's path to confirmation, which requires 51 votes in the Senate. Rubio is Trump's choice for Secretary of State.
