Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio, the outgoing senior senator from Florida, is most likely to be confirmed on Inauguration Day because he has bipartisan support and goodwill from his longtime Senate colleagues.

“I believe he will get significant Democratic support,” Senate Foreign Relations Chairman James E. Risch, Idaho Republican, told The Washington Times. “He’s highly respected up here because of the service on the committees that he’s had, and his relationship with the senators.”
