Marco Rubio has surprisingly expanded his skill set, adding wedding DJ to his already impressive resume.
On Saturday night, the U.S. Secretary of State was spotted behind a DJ booth, complete with headphones, as he took on DJ duties at a wedding for a relative of Dan Scavino, the Deputy Chief of Staff at the White House. Scavino captured the moment in a video he shared on social media platform X.
"Just moments ago, behind the scenes: our amazing Secretary of State @MarcoRubio also spins at weddings! Here he is in action tonight at a family wedding... Let's go!!!" Scavino wrote alongside the footage.
In the clip, Rubio is seen leaning over a mixing table alongside another man, likely the hired DJ, pressing one headphone against his right ear with a look of intense concentration. At one point, he appears to give a signal to speed up the tempo.
According to the New York Post, the former Florida senator brought a touch of his Miami roots to the event, turning the wedding into a club-like atmosphere with guests dancing arm-in-arm in a circle.
The incident quickly sparked a fresh wave of memes. User Kristina Wong created an edited image of Rubio wearing sunglasses, DJ headphones, a leather jacket, and holding a controller, captioned "Marco becoming the official White House DJ."
Rubio has earned the nickname "Secretary of Everything," which holds some truth: beyond being Secretary of State, he serves as the acting National Security Advisor and acting National Archivist, marking the first time someone has held the former two roles simultaneously since Henry Kissinger during the Nixon era.
His multitude of responsibilities turned him into a viral meme sensation dating back to January 2026, when Trump announced Rubio would lead the transition in Venezuela. Memes depicted him as the governor of Cuba, president of Venezuela, Shah of Iran, and even the manager of Manchester United.
Rubio humorously addressed the meme frenzy on January 8, 2026: "I usually don't respond to online rumors, but I feel compelled to... While the future is unpredictable, I must focus on world events and U.S. archives."
Just last Wednesday, days before the wedding, Rubio was at the center of another viral joke when he crashed the White House press room, pretending to be the press secretary while Karoline Leavitt was on maternity leave. "I'm just here for a photo op. Now you're going to ruin my prank," he joked.
Rubio isn't the only one with musical flair in Trump's circle: the president himself is known for DJing at his Mar-a-Lago parties, where "YMCA" by the Village People is a staple.
In April, Rubio was named in the TIME100 list of the world's most influential people, an accolade that might soon require a new category considering his newfound DJ talents.
