President-elect Donald Trump has officially nominated Senator Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. This major decision has sidelined Richard Grenell, who had been a leading contender for the top position at the State Department, as reported by Gazeta Express.
Following Rubio’s nomination announcement, Richard Grenell took to X (formerly Twitter) to offer congratulations, expressing confidence that Rubio “will be excellent for the United States.” Rubio responded graciously, thanking Grenell and hinting at the influential role Grenell could play in the new Trump administration.
“Kind words from a great American who will be a vital part of defending America and Americans in the years to come,” Rubio wrote, alluding to Grenell’s future position and strategic role.
