Florida Senator Marco Rubio was passed on as Donald Trump's vice presidential candidate, but he is reportedly still vying for a top post in his administration should he win the presidential elections in November: secretary of state.
Rubio is in the shortlist to obtain the post, competing against two other top Republicans: North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who also sought to become Trump's VP, and Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, former ambassador to Japan. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton was also considered for the post, but he would rather be secretary of defense.
