It is disappointing that since the Senate failed to do their job, we will now have to have this debate again in two months. I will continue to fight for long-term solutions that will provide economic certainty for both American workers and American businesses.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:05Z |
