John Thune: “We've taken action to repeal a number of burdensome rules…”

“Mr. President, there's a lot more I could talk about when it comes to Senate accomplishments in 2025. We've taken action to repeal a number of burdensome rules and regulations, including the Biden electric vehicle mandate, appliance rules that would have driven up prices for hard working Americans and businesses, and energy mandates that would have driven up energy prices for American families. We passed the HALT Fentanyl act to permanently schedule fentanyl analogs as the most deadly type of drugs. We passed the Lake and Riley act to keep criminal illegal aliens off of our streets.” (10:19–10:37)
