Fans are calling for Cuban-American rapper Pitbull to be appointed to the United States Senate.
The tongue-in-cheek campaign began on social media following the news that President-elect Donald Trump will soon name Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.
Now music fans have flooded social media with pleas to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for Timber hitmaker Pitbull to fill Rubio’s empty seat.
“Wouldn’t it be ironic if Senator Rubio became SecState and was replaced by someone named Mr. Worldwide?” one fan wrote, referring to Pitbull’s nickname.
‘If they started calling it “The United States Senate, with Pitbull,” I’d do it all!’ wrote another.
Music calls for Cuban-American rapper Pitbull to be appointed to the US Senate
The tongue-in-cheek campaign began on social media following the news that President-elect Donald Trump will soon name Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.
Fans have flooded social media with pleas to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for Timber hitmaker Pitbull to fill Rubio’s empty seat.
“I guess the people of South Florida want Pitbull to take Rubio’s Senate seat,” one joked.
Pitbull joined the music scene in 2004 with the single Culo and went on to achieve bigger hits like Krazy and Give Me Everything.
Rubio, who was elected to the Senate in 2010, is considered a foreign policy hawk and will lead Trump’s exploits on the world stage.
He currently serves as the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee and was considered on Trump’s short list for vice president earlier this year.
Rubio ran unsuccessfully for president in 2016 against Trump in a crowded field of Republican hopefuls.
And although the two faced off during the primaries, Rubio did not support Trump on the campaign trail in recent weeks.
Rubio recently said that Trump’s brash language could win him the presidency because candidates who use emotional words get more votes in times of crisis.
It turned out to be true when Trump swept all seven swing states and won the popular vote for Republicans for the first time in decades.
