Trump considered him as a running mate.
Mr. Trump could still change his mind at the last minute, the people said, but appeared to have settled on Mr. Rubio, whom he also considered when choosing his running mate this year.
Mr. Rubio was elected to the Senate in 2010, and has staked out a position as a foreign policy hawk, taking hard lines on China and Iran in particular.at odds with those Republicans who were more skeptical about interventions abroad, but he has also echoed Mr. Trump more recently on issues like Russia’s war against Ukraine,Mr. Rubio was a loyal surrogate for Mr. Trump during the campaign even after being passed over as the vice-presidential pick.
Rubio has been a bit of a squish. DeSantis and Trump could work together to upgrade the senator slot in ruby red stateBut I would take a redder Senator over a redder SoS. One is for a couple years and one is for the next 20.I think congresspeople are mostly fungible, almost all that matters is with party they’ll vote with. Although Rubio was getting pretty senior and thus able to exert personal influence.
I *think* the NSA was also announced, but again all I can find are people commenting on the pick, not any official announcement. Is there any place on the internet to see a list of *actual* announcements from the Trump campaign about this stuff? The rumor mill is off the charts this week. By next week, the story will be that the Trump transition team is in disarray based on how many rumors didn’t pan out. SMH.Rubio is a bad pick for Secretary of State.
