Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is promising to implement President-elect Donald Trump’s “America First” vision as secretary of state. Rubio says America's interests must be placed “above all else.” It’s a remarkable opening salvo from Rubio, who was born in Miami to Cuban immigrants, and who, if confirmed, would become the first Latino ever to serve as the nation’s top diplomat. Unlike many of Trump’s Cabinet selections, Rubio is expected to easily win confirmation, notching support not only from Republicans but Democrats. Many expect he will be among the first of Trump’s Cabinet picks approved.
