JD Vance swears in Marco Rubio 1-21-2025)

"Marco is one of my favorite people in Washington.

And he’s a son of Cuban immigrants to this country. He grew up in very humble beginnings, but he has an incredibly deep love of our nation. He is a bipartisan solutions-seeker, a guy who can actually get things done, but a conservative of great principle and great vision. And I think more than almost anybody that I’ve met in Washington the last few years, Senator Rubio I think understands the distinctive priorities of President Trump and why it represents such a significant and, frankly, important and needed departure from a generation of failed foreign policy. Senator Rubio will be the chief diplomat of the United States of America, but he will remain a friend. I’m proud to know him and I’m proud to do this. So Senator Rubio, thank you. (Applause.)

I also, of course, want to thank President Trump for nominating Senator Rubio and giving me a first easy swearing-in. This is the first time I’ve ever sworn in an official of the United States Government. And I want to thank Senator Jim Risch and his family for making this easy. You guys got this done and got it done very quickly – 99 to zero, right? I think even I wouldn’t have got close to 99 to zero. So Senator Rubio, it’s a great testament to your career of service. And this a new chapter, man, but I think you’re going to do great. So – great.

So I think that we’re going to administer the oath and then, Senator, you’ll say a few words. Is that right? Let’s do it. Okay."
