Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania) has weighed in on reports suggesting that President-elect Donald Trump will choose Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to serve as secretary of state in his administration.

of new york times It was recently reported that President Trump was considering appointing Rubio to the post.
Breitbart News reported that there has been no formal announcement from President Trump or his transition team, adding:
Rubio has been a U.S. senator since 2010 and is known as a hawk on China and Iran. He serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and co-chairs the bipartisan Congressional Executive Committee on China. He is also an ardent supporter of Israel.
He was also considered as a running mate for President Trump before the former president selected Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio).
Multiple reports have also reported that President Trump has selected Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) to head the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“This selection will complement President Trump's immigration hawks Stephen Miller and Tom Homan for White House oversight positions,” the article said. “They are expected to enforce his pro-American priorities on senior civil servants in many agencies, including the State Department.”
Meanwhile, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), one of the three Senate Republican leadership candidates, told Breitbart News that he would implement President Trump's policies.
“I believe in President Trump's policies. He has a mission. There has to be a way to make sure he accomplishes what he started,” he said.
Breitbart News reported on Election Day that Mr. Trump won the 2024 presidential election on November 5th after a battle against his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris (Democratic Party).
The newspaper said he was “the first president to regain the Oval Office after losing reelection since Democrat Grover Cleveland in 1892.”
