Senator Marco Rubio wrote a letter to Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred asking if he planned to maintain his membership at Augusta National in the wake of his decision to move this year’s All-Star Game from the state of Georgia.

“I write to ask you whether you intend to maintain your membership at Augusta National Golf Club. As you are well aware, the exclusive members-only club is located in the State of Georgia,” Rubio, a Florida Republican, wrote in the letter.
