Rep. Mike Lawler says being “rational, reasonable and pragmatic” is the key to bipartisan lawmaking, especially as Congress faces heated partisan battles over health care subsidies.
“I’m not as much interested in just doing partisan party-line votes,” Lawler told NOTUS’ Reese Gorman on the latest episode of the On NOTUS podcast. “I think it’s important. If you want lasting change, you need that broad, bipartisan consensus.”
“If you watched the floor, you could see I spend probably more time on the Democratic side talking to members across the aisle than I do on my side,” he added.
