Since Leaving Campaign Trail, Rubio Back at Fight for Human Rights

PJM:  WASHINGTON — Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) left the campaign trail in mid-March without a presidential nomination and without a Senate campaign, having ceded the chance at a second term for a shot at the White House.

Since then he has been hard at work in the upper chamber, quietly forging ahead with an aggressive human-rights agenda matching legislative action with issues ranging from Latin America to Saudi Arabia to the United Nations.

Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) introduced a resolution “expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should continue to exercise its veto in the United Nations Security Council on resolutions regarding the Israeli-Palestinian peace process” as “the human rights bodies and agencies of the United Nations, such as the United Nations Human Rights Council, have consistently demonstrated unwarranted bias against Israel.”  more
