99-0. The Senate confirmed Marco Rubio as Sec of State with a 99-0 vote. in 2021 Blinken was 78-22.

[ZonkerHarris]

Fuck this shit.
Maybe both parties are the same, like some say.

[newdeal2]

1. Life ain't fair

However Rubio looks pretty normal compared to the rest of his picks. I doubt he’ll last 4 years.

[Frasier Balzov]

2. Senators are known for their collegiality.

[cadoman]

18. exactly, I expected Rubio to receive the warmest reception

And he was also one of the closest to center Repuke Senators.

[kerouac2]

3. They are probably afraid of alternatives

There is no limit to the crazy loons he could choose instead. A$$hats like Rubio seem fine compared to other possibilities it seems.

[dpibel]

7. They can't stop any of these nominees

That doesn't mean they have to vote for them.

Trump's gonna be nice if they rubber stamp Lil' Marco? No evidence of that.

[Mountainguy]

4. There isn't a reason to not confirm Rubio.

[William769]

5. Resistance is futile.

[In It to Win It]

6. Rubio is probably his best cabinet pick, which isn't saying much.

[Polybius]

14. His Labor Secretary nominee (Lori Chavez-DeRemer) is better

What to know about Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Trump’s pick for labor secretary

[RockRaven]

8. Disgraceful that none would speak the truth that he is unworthy of the position.

It isn't like going on the record that he is unworthy would have denied him the position and risked a worse option being put forward. He was getting confirmed either way.

[Dem4life1234]

9. Sadly he is the most qualified of his clown cabinet

As everything the orange creep touches, he will ruin Rubio.

[Bettie]

10. Honestly, I suspect each and every one will

get at least a couple of Democratic votes. Bet Fetterman votes for all of them.

[jalan48]

11. Let's pretend our system of government is working, even with an autocratic takeover of our country.

Pretty sad.

[Yavin4]

12. TBF, if it was Ted Cruz, the vote would be 200-0

Anything to get him out of the senate.

[Polybius]

13. I predicted that it would be 90-95

But 99 even surprised me. Who didn't vote? With that being said though, he apparently was well-liked by a lot of Democrats, so I get it.

[AnyFunctioningAdult]

15. I believe

There are only 99 Senators due to JD Vance vacating the position.

[Polybius]

17. Actually, it might have been Rubio himself that didn't vote

Vance's seat went to Jon Husted, but Google is inconclusive if he took office yet. I can't see Rubio voting for himself.

Edit: I take it back, you're probably right. He voted for himself.

[William769]

16. Fortunately for you, you don't live in Florida.

[larwdem]

19. WTF DEMS?

[ZonkerHarris]

20. Right?
