Rubio wants Kerry to up pressure on Egypt
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is pushing Secretary of State John Kerry to increase pressure on the Egyptian government on political reform and human rights during upcoming talks.
The 2016 presidential contender joined with Sens. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Chris Coons (D-Del.)
