I'm live from the Senate floor, 3.20.26

Published | Video Starts at 02:15

There is no good reason to reject our proposal to fund it. We are going to hold this vote tomorrow and I urge my Republican colleagues to vote yes on save. The Senate's in session today and all we're really doing is wasting time on a voter suppression bill written only to appease the fringe elements of the MAGA base. With so many problems facing our country, with the cost of living so high, with people struggling to make ends meet, with the war going on in Iran, Republicans instead are choosing to spend time making it harder for citizens to vote.
