"The party has to unite"

Donald Trump said Thursday he would love to have Sen. Marco Rubio, a former opponent who Trump referred to as “Little Marco,” on his cabinet.

In an interview on Fox News, Trump said the Republican Party needs to “unite” in order to win the White House next fall. In his pitch, Trump suggested he would tap some of his former opponents for a presidential cabinet.
