Hobby, side gig, or a backup plan in case he gets the boot \u2014 either way, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a> stepped behind the decks as a wedding DJ over the weekend, and the internet is gobbling it up.<\/p>\n

Some things are meant to be sacred\u2026 like the DJ booth. While we\u2019re usually here for the crossover between music and politics, this one lands a little differently. Remember when Ron DeSantis\u2019 alleged Spotify playlist<\/a> leaked? Yeah \u2014 file this under the same awkward category.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, while Miami was knee-deep in F1 and Race Week<\/a> shenanigans, the 45-year-old Florida man was spotted behind the booth in a video captured by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino. He shared the clip on X, where it quickly racked up over a million views and thousands of comments.<\/p>\n

The video shows Rubio cueing a track and waiting for the drop as John Summit<\/a> and Hayla\u2019s dancefloor anthem\u201cShiver\u201d sends a mostly male crowd \u2014 including a person who looks like the groom \u2014 into a frenzy. In another clip, he transitions into Calvin Harris\u2019 2011 EDM classic \u201cFeel So Close<\/a>,\u201d singing along while keeping time with a pointed index finger.<\/p>\n

The internet reacted instantly \u2014 and, as expected, it\u2019s divided. \u201cThe DJ phase doesn\u2019t miss a single native Miamian,\u201d one user joked, a fair point considering the University of Miami alum likely crossed paths with the city\u2019s electronic scene at some point \u2014 maybe even a night at Ultra Music Festival<\/a>. Others weren\u2019t as amused: \u201cPartying it up while we can\u2019t afford gas and food. Piss off,\u201d one user wrote. Another added, \u201cNot Marco Rubio ruining one of my favorite millennial dance jams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Memes and AI-generated images followed almost immediately, casting Rubio as the \u201cofficial White House DJ.\u201d<\/p>\n

What the clips do suggest: this isn\u2019t his first rodeo behind the booth. His headphone grip and cueing look pretty natural. That said, there\u2019s room for improvement, especially on the dance moves. A little more looseness, maybe a less buttoned-up outfit, and who knows, he could headline the opening party for Trump\u2019s future White House ballroom.<\/p>\n
