First-Term Senators Charting New Course For GOP
Observers say a new breed of Republican senators is moving the GOP in a new direction on Capitol Hill. Freshman senators JD Vance of Ohio, Josh Hawley of Missouri, and roger Marshall of Kansas are all trying to push bills with broader poplist appeal, especially in their home states, and finding some Democrat suport along the way. Some involve railway hubs, and lower-income access to the internet . Senator Marshall’s effort to limit credit card swipe fees has evoked the ire of normally GOP supporting bank corporations. He says it’s a sign of who the new Republican Party is. . QUOTE: “We’re the party for hard-working Americans, and we’re not the party, necessarily, of Wall Street.”
