Another Republican senator is coming out against Chuck Hagel to lead the Pentagon: Florida’s Marco Rubio.

In a statement, Rubio cited several policy differences with Hagel as reasons for his opposition, such as Hagel’s views on Cuba and sanctions on Iran. Rubio’s chief concern was what the senator called the “new era of austere defense budgets that will severely impede U.S. national security” that Rubio said he believed would happen under Hagel.
