President-elect
Donald Trump
is expected to name Sen.
Marco Rubio
of Florida as secretary of state for his administration in the coming days, according to three sources familiar with the selection process.
Trump could still change his mind, the sources cautioned, noting that the decision wouldn’t be finalized until the president-elect makes a formal announcement.
The New York Times
first reported
Trump’s plans to name Rubio as the nation’s top diplomat.
Trump had previously considered Rubio as a running mate before ultimately choosing Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio.
Trump has made a series of other staffing announcements in recent days. On Monday, he announced plans to nominate former Rep.
Lee Zeldin
, R-N.Y., as the Environmental Protection Agency’s top administrator and to appoint Rep.
Mike Waltz
, R-Fla., as his national security adviser.
Last week, he said
Susie Wiles
, his campaign manager, would be White House chief of staff. On Sunday, he named immigration hard-liner
Tom Homan
as his “border czar.”
