Trump and Rubio plan to visit oil tanker carrying Venezuelan crude in Texas
Rubio’s first campaign trip with Trump will spotlight Venezuelan crude headed to Texas refineries as Republicans battle to keep the state red.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will visit Port Arthur, Texas, to inspect a newly arrived oil tanker filled with Venezuelan crude destined for local refineries.
- The trip demonstrates how Trump's second presidency blurs the lines between official government duties and political activity, as he campaigns across Texas for Republican candidates during the midterm season.
- Trump is using the trip to bolster U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton, who faces a competitive race against Democratic candidate James Talarico, with additional rallies scheduled in Corpus Christi and Lubbock.
- Rubio's involvement marks a departure from his usual duties, as officials noted it is rare for the nation's top diplomat to join political travel, despite his role as national security adviser.
- Attorney General Todd Blanche has also appeared at rallies alongside Republican candidates, reflecting an active effort by the administration to influence the upcoming midterm elections.
