Republican Senator According to Bloomberg, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska is the first Republican Senator to voice his opinion on the resignation of Paul Wolfowitz.

Hagel today became the first Senate Republican to suggest that World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz may have to step down. He faces a ``very difficult'' time continuing to lead the organization in light of questions about his involvement in arranging a transfer and pay raise for a companion, Hagel said.

To lead requires ``trust and confidence,'' he said. ``If that is gone, and that is squandered, then you can't lead.''
