President-elect Donald Trump announced Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as his pick to be his secretary of state on Wednesday afternoon.

Rubio’s nomination had been reported earlier in the week, despite his own rocky history with the president-elect. The two leaders were fierce rivals during the 2016 Republican presidential primary, though Rubio has become a trusted Trump ally in recent years.
