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.

    Because the American politics system with four fucking elected bodies, is dumb as shit and literally intentionally designed to make government ineffective.

    An elected Senate and an elected House makes zero fucking sense. You just roadblock yourself constantly. The president being elected separately from either also makes no fucking sense.

    And then the fact that your judiciary is like half elected is the most nonsense fucking bullshit on the planet.

    Your system of government is not built or designed to be effective.
