GOP Senator Marco Rubio has been unanimously confirmed as America’s 72nd secretary of State.

This also makes Rubio the first nominated individual in Trump’s cabinet to be confirmed.

Rubio (R-Fla.) was confirmed in a 99-0 vote on Monday following Trump’s inauguration.

The senator voted for himself.

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) expressed that Rubio is an intelligent man with a remarkable understanding of American foreign policy — who has a deep commitment to the American dream.

Rubio’s Senate seat will be filled by Florida state Attorney General Ashley Moody.
