Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues to prove himself as a great choice for the Trump administration.
Rubio — filling in for White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during her maternity leave — was asked about his hope for the country “at a time such as this” while at the podium.
The footage was reposted on social media platform X Wednesday by Elon Musk.
The question was broad and Rubio was clearly speaking off the cuff, but his statement landed nonetheless.
“My hope for America is what it’s always been. I think it’s the hope I hope we all share,” Rubio said.
“We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything,” he continued. “Where you’re 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 to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential.”
“I think in the U.S., we’re not perfect, our history’s not one of perfection, but it’s still better than anybody else’s history, and ours is a story of perpetual improvement.”

“Each generation has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer, and that is our goal as well, but it is a unique and exceptional country,” Rubio continued.
Rubio then commented on the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence.
