Hamilton said Congress should focus on clawing back Trump’s tariffs and ending the war with Iran.

Sen.-elect Adam Hamilton, who flipped deep-red Kansas for Democrats, said Sunday that he hopes to prioritize lowering costs for his constituents in the next Congress and that he would be “deeply disappointed” to spend two years investigating members of the Trump administration.

“The bigger priority for me, and I think for most people in America, especially people living paycheck to paycheck, is ‘please help us with the cost of living,’” Hamilton told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”

Specifically, he said the new Congress should immediately focus on ending the war in Iran and “claw[ing] back tariffs policies.”

“If I spent the next two years — my first two years in the Senate — in investigations, I’d be deeply disappointed. I want to get to work helping the people in my state and helping the people across the country,” Hamilton said.

Good.

He's 100% right. You already fucking impeached Trump and no one cares. Why the fuck are you still focusing on this?

Get the leftist politicians who have a reasonable chance of winning elected to enact leftist policies to better people's lives. That should 100% be your focus.

Literally everything else is secondary.

    they have little change of getting any legislation past Trump's veto unless they can talk a few Republican's into it.

    They have very little chance of getting enough Republican Senators onside if the House impeaches him... again.

    lot of jawboning ahead

    He's 100% wrong, actually. With Trump's veto powers they have 0% chance of passing leftist policies. All they can do is prosecute and expose the corruption and incompetence. It won't fix anything but it will increase their chances of winning presidency in 2 years. That's the best they can do right now.
