The political evolution of Secretary of State Marco Rubio

NPR  

The political evolution of Secretary of State Marco Rubio SCOTT DETROW, HOST: It has been a little more than a week since Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

DETROW: You know, Marco Rubio is not the only Republican, by far, to change big positions and align them with what President Trump is promoting. Anyone looking at the body language could tell why that is - and because Rubio's smart enough to know what the implications were of Trump berating Zelenskyy in the Oval Office.
