The geopolitical sphere has been abuzz since major news outlets reported that Florida Senator Marco Rubio is expected to be named President-elect Donald Trump's Secretary of State. However, the president has not confirmed the news so far and, as influential Republican activist Charlie Kirk wrote on social media on Tuesday: "if Trump hasn't confirmed it on Truth, don't jump to conclusions and don't believe everything you see."
In the meantime the potential anointment of Rubio is already spurring controversy in some parts of the Republican world, including with some MAGA hardliners, who are questioning both the Senator's loyalty and his overall qualifications for the job. Criticism is especially big among a specific camp of Trump followers who supported former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell for the job, according to a report by POLITICO.
