The US Senate unanimously approved Marco Rubio as secretary of state on Monday, putting the fellow senator on the front line of President Donald Trump's often confrontational diplomacy.

Marco Rubio told State Department employees that changes under President Trump “are not meant to be destructive, they’re not meant to be punitive.”

DeSantis announced he is appointing Ashley Moody to replace Rubio, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of State.
