Secretary of State Marco Rubio On Tuesday, he got as close to the campaign trail as he has been all year. And even then, he tried to stay just offshore.
Rubio appeared with the president Donald Trump in Corpus Christi, Texas, as he rallied alongside an oil tanker carrying Venezuelan crude. The visit highlighted a proud achievement of the White House: overthrowing the Venezuelan dictator. Nicolas Maduro and opening up the country’s energy supply – in a political battleground state.
The unexpected nature of Rubios His presence, after the president persuaded him to take the stage during the rally, is likely enough to shield the nation’s top diplomat from allegations that he is interfering in the midterm campaign. The former Florida senator has kept his distance from partisan politics, even though colleagues like the attorney general Todd Blanche defied long-standing norms barring certain administration officials from engaging in electioneering.
“It’s an honor to work for the greatest country in the world, for the greatest president in the history of the United States of America,” Rubio said in brief remarks from the stage. “We love you, Texas.”
