Looking ahead to 2025, Trump has assumed the presidency once more, while Rubio holds the position of his eager and devoted secretary of state. During a Friday evening interview on “Finnerty,” a Newsmax program with Rob Finnerty as host, the president had positive remarks about his former rival when discussing his Cabinet members:
“Born for this job. We had a really nasty campaign in the 2016 campaign … and yet I respected him. I thought he was a great debater. I thought he was very smart. … He’s just a great guy. And he did something else that’s amazing. He got, essentially, a hundred votes” in his Senate confirmation. …
“He was able to get along with everybody. He’s a very talented guy, Marco, and we’re really happy.”
