Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971. He is considered a "hawk" in foreign policy, a supporter of a hard line in international politics.
Fun fact: Rubio rose to national prominence when he ran in the 2016 Republican presidential primary, where he notably faced off against Trump.
After withdrawing from the race for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, he expressed his loyalty to Donald Trump.
