Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday vowed not to support a federal relief bill aimed at aiding his state in its recovery from Hurricane Ian if it goes beyond providing disaster funding to include unrelated spending.

Rubio made the comments in an interview for CNN’s “State of the Union“ program several days after the powerful storm made landfall.
