U.S. Senator Marco Rubio recently appeared on Hannity to discuss the election of President-elect Donald Trump. Rubio emphasized the diversity within the Republican Party, describing it as a broad coalition of voters. He stated, "The Republican Party now reflects the country. It is the most diverse coalition of voters ever to come together to elect someone to the White House." Rubio highlighted Trump's ability to garner more votes than in his previous campaign, attributing this success to an appeal based on economic and security concerns rather than identity politics.

Rubio further elaborated on Trump's campaign message, saying it resonated with voters who prioritize a strong economy and national security. He remarked that Trump's foreign policy approach aims to maintain peace by focusing on core national interests during turbulent global times.

Addressing how the Republican Party plans to implement its agenda, Rubio noted the importance of securing positions for Trump's team. He mentioned that with a majority in Congress, they could proceed with fewer obstacles: "It begins by getting the president’s people in position. And obviously we can do that with 51 votes." Rubio stressed the need for a larger majority to minimize potential issues in legislative processes.
