Today, Marco Rubio filled in for Karoline Leavitt who is out on maternity leave. One reporter asked him a poignant question, and as only Marco Rubio can do, he had the perfect response off the cuff.
While filling in for @PressSec, @marcorubio answers a powerful question: "What is your hope for America at a time such as this?"

"My hope for America it that is continues to be the place where anyone anyplace can achieve anything. Where you are not limited by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin, by your ethnicity, but frankly it's a place where you are able… https://t.co/CaRwucPGu4

He is. He is American Exceptionalism. He is what every immigrant should strive to be.

As it should be.
Marco Rubio. No hesitation. No ummms, no searching for an answer. I wanted him to be the candidate in 2016. But, I think God had a plan. I hope it's what I think it is.

Marco always seems content to walk out the plan God has placed before him and thrives where he is planted.
Perfect articulation of not only the American Dream but what it means to be an American.

“It is a unique and exceptional country!” Spot on – because of it’s roots in a Christian worldview!

He needs to be the Press secretary until Karoline comes back. He is stupendous.
— Tina Vallejo (@Calangel89) May 5, 2026
To be fair, he has many jobs already.
Incredible and absolutely beautiful answer.

Really wasn’t sure when he was nominated to be Secretary of State. How wrong I was.

Future President right here.
He's a true statesman.
That’s what the majority of Americans feel by the way. They just don’t want a bunch of illegals and people subverting our way of life. That is the problem right now.

No hesitation. An exceptional answer 🇺🇸

It's exactly what most Americans want. Most Americans want to preserve our way of life and control the border. Then, allow those who are chosen to immigrate into the country instead of sneaking in. That seems reasonable.
