Joe Biden may think he will have a cakewalk to advance every iota of his agenda, but Sen. Tom Cotton is making sure that doesn’t happen.

Sen. Cotton announced he “will not support a waiver to allow President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee for defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, to serve in the position,” according to Breitbart News.

“Unfortunately I must announce that I oppose the waiver of the seven-year cooling-off period. My decision reflects not at all on you personally, or your record, which I respect. Rather, I believe Congress should no longer grant such waivers at all,” said Cotton.
