The Senate unanimously approved Senator Marco Rubio of Florida as secretary of state in the first vote on President Trump’s cabinet selections.

Notes: Confirmation requires a simple majority of voting senators. The Ohio Senate seat previously held by Vice President JD Vance is vacant.
Ahead of his confirmation, Mr. Rubio struck a moderate tone in a friendly, five-hour hearing before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. As secretary, he will need to manage a daunting list of foreign policy challenges while managing his relationship with Mr. Trump, a onetime political rival.
