Sen. Duckworth lays out priorities for lame duck session, 118th Congress
In the midterms, the Democrat from Illinois became the first woman in the state ever reelected in the U.S. Senate.
Duckworth plans to push for an assault weapons ban, stronger benefits for U.S. veterans and their families, water protections and more when the next Congress is sworn in in January, and she says there’s a lot of important work to do before that during the lame duck session.
Reset talks to the newly-reelected Senator about those priorities and why she believes bipartisanship is still a possibility, even with a divided legislative branch.
