Hamilton said Congress should focus on clawing back Trump’s tariffs and ending the war with Iran.

Sen.-elect Adam Hamilton, who flipped deep-red Kansas for Democrats, said Sunday that he hopes to prioritize lowering costs for his constituents in the next Congress and that he would be “deeply disappointed” to spend two years investigating members of the Trump administration.

“The bigger priority for me, and I think for most people in America, especially people living paycheck to paycheck, is ‘please help us with the cost of living,’” Hamilton told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”

Specifically, he said the new Congress should immediately focus on ending the war in Iran and “claw[ing] back tariffs policies.”

“If I spent the next two years — my first two years in the Senate — in investigations, I’d be deeply disappointed. I want to get to work helping the people in my state and helping the people across the country,” Hamilton said.

    Huh, I would have thought the 1st priority would be shutting down ICE, releasing everyone and closing the concentration camps. Then the 2nd priority would be getting the people back who were sent to random countries they’ve never visited before.
