What happens if the midterm results are challenged?
In our new interview, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse tells us that Democratic senators held an all-day “war game” to prepare for possible election-related interference. He says lawyers, volunteers and other resources are being organized so they’re ready for whatever comes.
We also asked Whitehouse about what could change inside the Republican Party after the midterms, and how fossil fuel interests have shaped the climate debate. He makes the case that clean power can lower energy bills—and argues that data centers should pay the full costs they place on local electricity and water systems.
The conversation turns to potential investigations into Trump family business ties and the DISCLOSE Act, Whitehouse’s proposal to require more transparency around political spending. He explains how he would approach a Senate fight over dark money.
Watch the full interview above, and let us know what you think in the comments.
