Michigan Congresswoman: Republicans Don't Care Who They Hurt For a Win
Congresswoman Debbie Dingell is a Democrat representing Michigan's 12th district. Cheddar's J.D. Durkin spoke with her in Capitol Hill. She told Cheddar that she believes Republicans are just looking for a legislative win, and don't care if the Republican Tax Bill negatively impacts Americans.
Rep. Dingell's state of Michigan is also at the forefront of vehicle development. Dingell and her colleagues introduced a unanimous legislation for companies releasing self- driving cars to have a space and push the automobile industry forward. Overall, Rep. Dingell says driverless cars will make roads safer.
The Congresswoman also introduced legislation to safeguard elections. She believes every American has the right to know their vote counts.
President Joe Biden has met with new House Speaker Mike Johnson at the White House. Johnson was joined by Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries as they discussed Biden's request for nearly $106 billion for Israel, Ukraine and other national security needs.
The new leader of one of the chambers of Congress that will certify the winner of next year's presidential election helped spearhead the attempt to overturn the last one, raising alarms that Republicans could try to subvert the will of the voters if they remain in power despite safeguards enacted after the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
