A senior advisor at the White House has shared an intriguing video that seems to capture US Secretary of State Marco Rubio showing off his DJ skills at a family wedding. The clip, which features Rubio energetically engaging with electronic dance music, has captured widespread attention.
Dan Scavino, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, posted the video on Saturday evening through X. He explained that Rubio, who plays a pivotal role in the United States’ ongoing strategic efforts in Iran, was taking a turn as a DJ during a family celebration.
“MOMENTS AGO, BEHIND THE SCENES,” Scavino noted in his post. “Our Great Secretary of State Marco Rubio DJs weddings too!” His enthusiasm was evident as he added, “Let’s goooooo!!!”
Known humorously as the ‘Secretary of Everything,’ Rubio juggles numerous responsibilities within the Trump administration alongside his role as Secretary of State. This latest endeavor only adds to his multifaceted persona.
The video depicts guests enthusiastically bouncing along to the music as a man, identified by Scavino as Rubio, is seen leaning over a laptop, headphones in place, fully immersed in the DJ experience.
Guests were seen jumping up and down as the man that Scavino claimed is Rubio leaned over a laptop with a set of headphones pressed to his ear.
As the beat dropped, he even pumped his fist, joining the elated crowd.
The Florida Republican’s track of choice appeared to be ‘Shiver’ by John Summit and HAYLA.

Rubio has been a rising star in the second Trump administration, and has become increasingly viewed as Trump’s possible successor in 2028.
In March, a Daily Mail/JL Partners poll found that Rubio has gained ground, rising three points to 17 percent and solidifying his position as the clear second-place contender to Vice President JD Vance.
Rubio has been praised for his role in the Trump administration’s operations in Venezuela and across Latin America.
However, Rubio’s DJing was criticized by liberal users online, who accused the Secretary of State of having misplaced priorities.
‘Gang of 8 Rubio dancing as 2 billion is being spent a day on a war no one voted for,’ one user said. ‘Really sickening. What is wrong with you people!’
Another added: ‘I’m glad y’all are having a great time while the masses are suffering!’
Others pointed to the ongoing war with Iran, which has led to rising gas costs in the US and around the world.
‘Glad you’re all dancing. I’m paying $5 gas,’ one user wrote. ‘What a bunch of screw ups.’
‘We used to be a serious country,’ another said.

However, conservative users defended Rubio and said the Secretary of State was simply having fun.
‘Make America Fun Again!’ one X user wrote, alongside an American flag emoji. ‘Celebrate and live your best life!’
Another added: ‘MAGA is still the cool person table.’
They also quipped that Rubio had found yet another role to add to his list of responsibilities.
‘Isn’t this cool? Sec of State Rubio adds DJ to his resume,’ one X user wrote.
‘What doesn’t Rubio do?’ another cracked.
Others said this was a sign that Rubio could step into ‘any role’ necessary, including President of the United States down the line.
‘Watching Marco Rubio DJing at a wedding just made my night,’ one user posted. ‘To say he’s a man of many talents is the ultimate understatement.’
Rubio was not the only member of the Trump administration to make headlines for his music taste over the weekend, as President Trump commented on his own songs of choice.
During remarks to MAGA supporters on Friday at The Villages in Florida, Trump joked that First Lady Melania Trump ‘hates’ when he dances to the hit Village People track YMCA.
‘She hates when I dance to what’s sometimes referred to as the gay national anthem,’ he told the crowd.
Trump then added, ‘We love that song.’
Melania admitted in January during an interview on Fox News that she only liked the song ‘at certain times.’
‘Some days it’s not appropriate, and I told him so,’ the First Lady said. ‘But it’s his dance and I think people love it.’
