Then,voters can assemble themselves around the separate measures and get GOP senators interested in some pieces to then push forward the full package.... Once the public sees it, then they'll want to pass the whole thing, not just pieces, Sarbanes said, warning there would be a political consequence for those who stand in its way. ... Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic House Minority Leader who is expected to retake her gavel as speaker of the House in January, told reporters last weekthat "our best friend in this debate is the public." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
