Following Trump's announcement, Florida Senator Marco Rubio stated in a post on his social media account, "Leading the US Department of State is a tremendous responsibility and I am honored by the trust President Trump has placed in me."

In the full text of his statement, Rubio included the following remarks:

"Leading the US Department of State is a tremendous responsibility and I am honored by the trust President Trump has placed in me. As Secretary of State, I will work every day to carry out his foreign policy agenda.
