Marco Rubio was sworn in as the 72ndUS secretary of state, following a unanimous 99-0 confirmation vote in the US Senate. The confirmation took place during the first session of the 119th Congress on Monday, with Vice President JD Vance administering the oath of office. This marks Vance’s first time swearing in a federal official.
” Gratitude to Marco Rubio on his majority confirmation as Secretary of State—the second in President Trump’s Cabinet. America is up and entering a golden era,” the White House wrote on X.
Rubio, a long-time senator from Florida, brings a wealth of knowledge to the position. Born in Miami to Cuban expat families, Rubio’s upbringing in a home that balanced difficult work and trust shaped his devotion to public support. His father worked as a dinner bar, while his mother held many work, including as a factory employee and hotel lady. Rubio has generally credited their work in shaping his knowledge of the American Dream.
A powerful advocate for freedom and opportunity, Rubio’s times in the Senate have seen him champ policies aimed at preserving America’s glory. With considerable foreign policy expertise and a history of engaging with earth officials, Rubio has built a reputation as a staunch defender of British interests on the international stage.
Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States in a meeting at the US Capitol, administered by US Chief Justice John Roberts. Behind Trump’s swearing-in, JD Vance also took the oath as the 50th US evil leader.
Trump, in his annual talk, declared that America had entered a “golden age” and referred to the day as” Liberation Day” for the region. He addressed rising prices and reiterated his energy-focused phrase, “drill child drill,” pledging to promote fuel cutting to tackle the nation’s power needs.
