The Strait is still not open... Americans are paying every day at the gas pump... the longer this war goes on, the more Americans are paying.

Kailey Leinz

Asks about the real consequence of the War Powers resolution given the president can veto or ignore it.
Jeanne Shaheen

Both chambers have passed resolutions saying the president needs to rethink his Iran policy and come to Congress. This sends a message to the White House.
Joe Mathieu

Asks what happens if the president simply ignores or vetoes the resolution.
Jeanne Shaheen

The president is ignoring Congress and the public. The public opposes the war because it drives up costs at the gas pump, grocery store, and in housing and energy.
Kailey Leinz

Asks if the U.S. can sustain its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz through Labor Day.
Jeanne Shaheen

The Strait is still closed. Americans are paying every day. The military can keep the blockade until the fall, but this should incentivize the administration to negotiate with Iran.
Joe Mathieu

Asks if Secretary Rubio pledged to fix the lack of information sharing with the committee.
Jeanne Shaheen

He did not pledge to fix it. He gave excuses indicating either unwillingness or incompetence. Either way, it's unacceptable.
Kailey Leinz

Asks if the Lebanon issue can be separated from an Iran deal, given the president's comments.
Jeanne Shaheen

Israel's continued bombing of Lebanon is a real problem. Hezbollah is an issue, but parties need to come to the table. We are not going to resolve the long-term war in Iran unless we address Lebanon.
Joe Mathieu

Asks if she met with Democratic candidate Graham Plattner and if she would spend time with him.
Jeanne Shaheen

She did not meet with him. The voters of Maine will decide. Inappropriate sexual behavior is wrong no matter who does it.
Kailey Leinz

Asks about her legislation to cap insulin at $35/month and whether there is bipartisan support.
Jeanne Shaheen

The bill is bipartisan with nine Republican and nine Democratic co-sponsors. It would cap insulin at $35 for all insurance, create a pilot program for the uninsured, require PBMs to pass rebates to consumers, and expedite generic insulin.
