Rubio backs Tillerson, clearing way for likely confirmation as secretary of state
Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio said Monday that he’ll support President Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, effectively clearing the way for the former ExxonMobil executive to win Senate confirmation and become the country’s top diplomat.
Rubio is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that is scheduled Monday afternoon to decide whether to endorse his nomination. The committee has 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats, which made Rubio, wary about Tillerson’s past business ties with Russia, a decisive vote.
