Marco Rubio and Elise Stefanik – Catholics at the forefront of the fresh US diplomacy

President-elect Donald Trump's decision to appoint Florida senator Marco Rubio, who is simply a Catholic, as the fresh US abroad minister in January 2025. Elise Stefanik, the US ambassador-designate to the UN, is besides a Catholic. Observers see these appointments as Trump repaying his debt to Catholic voters, a majority of whom (56%) voted for him in the November 5 presidential election.
