Rubio’s Expanding Role

As Secretary of State, Rubio has taken on responsibilities well beyond his formal title. He has served as acting administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, acting archivist of the United States, and acting national security adviser during the early months of the second Trump administration.

The breadth of his assignments prompted media outlets to dub him the “Secretary of Everything.” Rubio has embraced the nickname, and on Tuesday, he filled in for White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during her maternity leave.
