Senate confirms Marco Rubio as secretary of state, giving Trump the first member of his Cabinet

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — The Senate quickly confirmed Marco Rubio as secretary of state Monday, voting unanimously to give President Donald Trump the first member of his new Cabinet on Inauguration Day. During Trump’s first term, the Senate swiftly confirmed his defense and homeland security secretaries on day one, and President Joe Biden’s choice for director of national intelligence was confirmed on his own Inauguration Day. Senate Majority Leader John Thune moved quickly Monday, announcing he expected voting to begin “imminently” on Trump’s nominees. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said his party will “neither rubber-stamp nominees we feel are grossly unqualified, nor oppose nominees that deserve serious consideration.” Rubio, he said, is an example of “a qualified nominee we think should be confirmed quickly.” Senate committees have been holding lengthy confirmation hearings on more than a dozen of the Cabinet nominees, with more to come this week.
