Rex Tillerson to be confirmed as Secetary of State later today.

When word broke on Saturday that Republican Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham would support President Donald Trump's Secretary of State-designate, former Exxon Mobile CEO, Rex Tillerson, all eyes turned to Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who give the Republican Majority their majority vote on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. His was the crucial vote, as many expect that Tillerson will receive little to no Democratic support on the committee, which is rare, but not unheard of from the minority in times of Presidential Transition.

The failed 2016 Presidential Candidate confirmed today confirmed today that "despite [his] reservations" - he will vote to approve Tillerson's candidacy, and get it past committee.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell predicted that once Tillerson's nomination got the Senate Floor, that he will be easily confirmed by the Republican Majority and the remaining wing of moderate Democrats.

It will be seen as a huge win for the new President, and the biggest hurdle into getting the rest of his cabinet confirmed.

Tillerson will become the 69th United States Secretary of State.
