Democratic senators who initially supported Marco Rubio's nomination for Secretary of State now express regret as they perceive his alignment with Donald Trump's foreign policy stance. Senator Chris Murphy stated that he mistakenly believed Rubio would challenge Trump on key issues such as Russia's aggression towards Ukraine. As the current administration adopts an 'America-first' policy, some Democratic senators have found Rubio's support to be contradictory to earlier expectations of him standing for American values and principles, especially concerning international allies and issues of aggression.
"I think a lot of us thought that Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Donald Trump on issues like Russia's years-long war in Ukraine, but he has not."
