TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)- Florida's Senior Senator, Bill Nelson, was in the Capital City campaigning Saturday.
We had a chance to speak with him about his views on the air strikes against Syria.
Senator Nelson says, he agrees with President Trump's order, but the effectiveness of the air strike was hurt by Trump giving four days notice.
He says, in the future, the White House needs to consult with Congress before taking any military action.
"The President had said that we're coming, so they have moved equipment and materials and personnel out by the time of the strike," said Nelson. "Surely, they knew we were coming after their chemical weapon production."
Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio sent a statement out Friday night, saying, in part,
"I salute the men and women of our Armed Forces who conducted this mission bravely and skillfully with our British and French allies. I urge the Administration to follow up with a real and comprehensive strategy for ending Assad's threat to his people."
