Kailey Leinz

Asks if the Clarity Act is passable now that there's agreement on stablecoin language.
Kirsten Gillibrand

Yes, it's on track. Still working on an ethics provision to prohibit members of Congress and senior officials from issuing or promoting crypto. This is key for Democratic support.
Kailey Leinz

Asks for a realistic timeline for ultimate passage.
Kirsten Gillibrand

After a successful banking markup, will work with the Agriculture Committee to merge drafts. Negotiations may take several weeks. Hopes to get a merged bill to the floor after that.
Kailey Leinz

Asks if the involvement of the President's family in crypto is an impediment to bipartisan progress.
Kirsten Gillibrand

The legislation prohibits principals from being issuers or promoters. It's about preventing people in authority from making money based on non-public information. Believes the White House can agree to this.
Kailey Leinz

Asks if a policy response is needed to protect the labor market from AI-driven job losses, citing Coinbase's layoffs.
Kirsten Gillibrand

After crypto, she will work on an AI framework. The biggest question is how to guarantee the future of work. This requires reforming the education system for retraining and ensuring people have access to new jobs.
Kailey Leinz

Asks if Project Freedom is separate from activity requiring congressional authorization.
Kirsten Gillibrand

No, it's not separate. This is an illegal, unauthorized war. The American people are paying a billion dollars a day for it at the pump, and they want costs for groceries, housing, and fuel to come down instead.
Kailey Leinz

Asks if there is a turning point where Republican colleagues might support a war powers vote.
Kirsten Gillibrand

Hopes so. New Yorkers are furious. Republicans are hearing the same from their constituents. Believes they will come to the table to hold the administration accountable for an unpopular, unauthorized war.
Kailey Leinz

Asks about the strategic and financial approach to a wider electoral map (Iowa, Texas, etc.) as DSCC chair.
Kirsten Gillibrand

There is a map of 11 states because of Trump's toxic policies. He promised no new wars but started two. He hasn't lowered costs. He is very unpopular, and Republicans aiding him will be held accountable.
Kailey Leinz

Asks if the $1 billion for the White House ballroom in the reconciliation bill is a done deal.
Kirsten Gillibrand

Democrats are talking to constituents who don't want tax dollars spent on a ballroom. They want focus on tariffs, fuel costs, grocery bills, and medical bills. Spending $25 billion on a war instead of restoring Medicaid is an outrage.
