Republicans rounded out their 53-seat Senate majority on Tuesday with the swearing-in of Jon Husted and Ashley Moody, the two senators replacing Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Two new senators were sworn in on Tuesday to replace new Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance.

Vice President JD Vance, who served as a senator alongside Marco Rubio, called him a “bipartisan solutions seeker.”

His order, which the White House called “the most important federal civil rights measure in decades,” revokes Executive Order 11246 signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. It prohibited discriminatory practices in hiring and employment in government contracting and asserted the government’s commitment to affirmative action.

Both sides agree that it will be Trump who decides if Rubio is MAGA enough to remain a member of his administration and represent his views around the world. He unceremoniously fired his first secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, via tweet, and has long made clear he views foreign policy as his domain.
