Trump expected to name Marco Rubio for secretary of state
CBSN
President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida as his nominee for secretary of state, though the pick is not a done deal, two sources familiar with the talks tell CBS News.
The expected nomination represents a long road from the time Trump and the Florida senator were rivals in the 2016 Republican primaries, when Trump referred to Rubio as "Little Marco" and Rubio made insinuations about Trump's manhood in a presidential debate. The two have since repaired the relationship, and Rubio campaigned with the former president this year.
The New York Times first reported that Trump appears to be settled on Rubio for the post. A spokesperson for Rubio did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
