Following a statement-making return to the presidency, Donald J. Trump has begun naming his picks for the cabinet. The 78-year-old Republican has nominated incumbent Florida senator Marco Rubio to be the US secretary of state.

If that gets a nod from the Senate, Mr. Rubio will need to abjure his seat in the US Congress. But who could be his successor?

Could it be Hulk Hogan? Well, at least CNN’s GOP voice, Scott Jennings, is all for it. Speaking on NewsNight, the 47-year-old political commentator pulled off an on-air stunt to unveil a ‘Hulkamania’ T-shirt beneath his coat.

Jennings playfully hailed Hogan for standing up to the Russians and the Iranians when he beat Nikolai Volkoff and The Iron Sheikh in the 1980s. The pro-Trump panelist said Hogan knows that courage is the thing that keeps one free. Having said that, Scott endorsed the WWE Hall of Famer to fill in Marco Rubio’s shoes as the next Florida senator.

Hogan has had quite a tumultuous year where he earnestly politicked for Mr. Trump. Jennings: If Marco Rubio does, in fact, become secretary of state, we will need a new senator from the state of Florida.
