Sen. Andy Kim:
Immediately after the election in November, a number of U.S. senators met with states’ attorney generals in the Capitol. We talked through a broader strategy, talked through what steps that they would plan to take when it comes to legislation, brainstormed some of the different things that we expected to see, given the research we have done on Project 2025, which has become their playbook.
And so far they are having great effect. For instance, the first Trump administration, they lost 80 percent of their cases. As you mentioned, I worked at USAID. I have a lot of colleagues still there from my old days. We were able to get inside information about what is happening. We’re feeding that into our investigative work, our oversight work.
And then, when it comes to legislation, we have seen in the past how poorly the Republicans, especially in the House of Representatives, are at actually governing. I mean, I have seen Speaker Mike Johnson in — work in person. And I will tell you, it’s not impressive.
They need the Democrats, honestly, for a lot of legislation to be able to get passed. And those are the points that we’re going to continue to push on going forward.
