The Republican foreign-policy establishment in Washington is coalescing around Marco Rubio in a final effort to oppose both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz as the campaign enters a pivotal phase.

Rubio is doubling down on his campaign’s argument that he is the best candidate on national security by announcing a new foreign policy advisory council made up of officials and experts from several other failed campaigns. The group is a mix of ideologies and strong personalities, but they have all decided that Rubio is their last, best bet to promote the conservative, internationalist approach they all seek.

The Rubio campaign plans to roll out its National Security Advisory Council Monday, following tough losses in the Super Saturday states that saw Trump and Cruz win in two states each. Rubio is making a final push toward the March 15 primaries, which include his home state of Florida, and national security will be a big part of his effort going forward.
