Rubio not yet Convinced With AG/U.N. Picks

0SHARES

With Trump’s picks for Attorney General and U.N. Ambassador already in place, Senator Marco Rubio is arguing that he can’t support them just yet. When it comes to the nominations, Senator Rubio is saying that he needs more information on them before throwing his support.

On “Face the Nation” over the weekend, he was asked about William Barr becoming Attorney General and Heather Nauert representing the United States at the United Nations, which both require Senate confirmation.

He commented that “I can’t comment on whether I support [Barr] or not yet. I haven’t even begun to review his qualifications or his record in the past. I know he’s been through the Senate process before. I’m going to watch the Judiciary process very closely. At the appropriate time I’ll meet with the nominee and get my own take on it, and then I’ll have a decision to make. I generally do not support nominees, for the most part, unless I know them personally and well, until they have worked their way through the committee process. So, I can’t tell you whether I support him or not until I’ve been able to review all of that.”
