Prematurely closing power plants at a time when power demand is surging is irresponsible and reckless.
In a September 2026 statement, welcomed the EPA's repeal of the power plant greenhouse gas rule known as Clean Power Plan 2.0 and criticized closing power plants early.[7]
Extending the enhanced premium subsidies—a temporary program that Democrats created to expire—will not achieve these long-term goals
In a January 2026 statement explaining her vote against a discharge petition, said extending the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits would not achieve long-term goals and that she supports a glide path off the current program.[10]
securing the border requires more than a return to enforcing the law—it requires giving the men and women on the front lines the resources they need to do their jobs.
In a June 2026 statement supporting the Secure America Act, which funds ICE and Border Patrol through fiscal year 2029, said enforcement agents need more resources.[12]
Under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, the President has constitutional authority to take military action to protect U.S. national interests without prior congressional approval, especially in response to imminent threats.
In a March 2026 press release on the Iran strikes, her office stated the President has authority to take military action without prior congressional approval.[14]
