    To give his DIL a path to a run for the Senate, unfortunately.

    Reminds me when we were kids and yell “Marco” and the other team would yell “Rubio”. He must’ve got name after that kids game.

I’m not going to dwell too much on this announcement, because it has already been discussed.
President Trump has announced his nomination of Florida Senator Marco Rubio for the position of Secretary of State.

[Source]
This move takes Marco Rubio out of the position of Chairman for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).  That’s the sum value of this move, and the companion reason for President Trump to appoint Steven C. Witkoff to be Special Envoy to the Middle East. (link)
Senator Marco Rubio will be State Dept Secretary with a short leash and a very limited portfolio.  However, from his perspective the political status and future value is awesome.  It will be interesting to see:
(1) who is appointed chairman of the SSCI, and
(2) who Ron DeSantis appoints as Rubio’s replacement.

“Great Honor”…
“Major Award”…
