Rubio Heartburn for Chris and Chris [View all]
Senate Democrats express regret over Rubio confirmation votesTwo Senate Democrats are expressing regret that they voted to confirm their former colleague Marco Rubio to become secretary of State in the Trump administration.
Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) both said they regretted backing Rubio while appearing for interviews on the Sunday shows.
Murphy told CNN’s “State of the Union” it was “a mistake” that he voted for Rubio.
“I think a lot of us thought that Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Donald Trump on issues like this,” Murphy said.
“I did vote for Senator Rubio to be secretary of State,” Van Hollen said on “Fox News Sunday.”
“I regret that, though, because, as a member of the Senate, Secretary Rubio was somebody who stood up for American values and American principles.”
