The Senate on Monday evening unanimously confirmed Marco Rubio as secretary of state, providing President Trump the first member of his Cabinet on Inauguration Day.

Marco Rubio has been confirmed by the Senate as the country’s next secretary of state. The nomination of the senior senator from Florida, 53, was confirmed on Monday, Jan. 20, hours after Donald Trump took the oath of office as the 47th president.

One of Trump’s picks is currently an evangelical pastor: Southern Baptist Scott Turner, an associate pastor at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, was tapped to be Trump’s secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Hours after Trump was sworn in as president, senators confirmed his first Cabinet pick and advanced the nominations of several others through committee.
