Americans want solutions on affordability.
Instead, the President is choosing to burden the American people by spiking gas prices as he recklessly plunges the U.S. into a war with no clear strategy.

Senator Shaheen: "We are spending billions of dollars with the build up in the Middle East."
"The Administration has said we can't afford to help people with keeping their health insurance because that's too expensive, but it's not too expensive to go to war."
The founding fathers set up the Congress as the body that should determine whether to declare war or not because they didn't want the leader of this country to turn into a despot or an autocrat who was going to make decisions without the will of the people.
It's fair to say that there is real concern about who is controlling America's foreign policy—is it President Trump or Prime Minister Netanyahu? The rationale from this Administration, on the timing, strategy and endgame for these attacks is not clear at all.
The President hasn't laid out a clear strategy. He's not shared that with the American people. He's not shared that with Congress.
He's decided to go to war without authorization from Congress and the threat of escalation continues.
What is the cost of this war going to be? We already know that gas prices are going to go up. The American people are already concerned about cost of living.
Secretary Hegseth was unwilling to answer when does this end. The President campaigned last year saying, 'no forever wars,' and yet there is the potential to get into another endless war in the Middle East.
iPhones. Microwaves. Cars. Solar Panels. These, and much more, all require critical minerals.
Critical minerals may seem abstract, but they power our lives in so many ways—and it’s essential we have a reliable supply of these key inputs. My SECURE Minerals Act does just that.
We need to be providing more arms and weapons that the Ukrainians need. We need to amp up the pressure on the Russian economy to shut down their war machine.
We need to make it really tough for Russia so that Putin comes to the table.
Under Republican leadership, we’ve seen Medicaid slashed, premiums skyrocket and millions of Americans drop coverage as they feel the pain of higher costs.
This is unacceptable. We must work toward commonsense solutions that will improve health care access and lower costs.
Health care premiums are soaring under President Trump, and he refused to come to the table to work with us to extend critical premium tax credits to keep insurance affordable.
His "plan" instead? Deductibles over $30,000.
Families can’t afford the President's health care chaos.
Rather than offering solutions to lower costs, the President is deciding to make life harder for Americans and blocking refunds of the money he owes.
We must pass my Tariff Refund Act to end this nonsense and get hardworking Americans the money they are owed.
My full statement:
The Trump Administration hasn't shared what the plans are for Iran.
It's not clear to me that they know what the plans are.
As communities struggle under President Trump's cuts to food assistance, they're also dealing with his tariffs at a cost of $1,600 a household.
My constituents are being squeezed on both sides—paying more after cuts to food assistance while seeing higher grocery bills.
Granite Staters are seeing housing prices at an all time high, grocery prices going up and their health insurance costs rising.
People are struggling to make ends meet, and President Trump isn't doing enough to address these concerns.
Affordable, high-quality child care is an essential service that has become far too expensive for families.
This year, I’ll continue working toward bipartisan solutions that will expand child care options for communities in every corner of the Granite State.
I was just in Munich for the Munich Security Conference. Every leader I talked to said they don’t believe Putin is serious about negotiating.
And he’s not going to be serious until the President puts pressure on him.
President Trump promised the American people that he would bring down the cost of living and bring order to an unsettled world. More than a year into office, it is abundantly clear that he has failed to deliver on both counts.
My full statement on tonight's State of the Union:
New Hampshire's only food bank distributed 20 million pounds of food last year - the most in its history.
My constituents are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of groceries, and the President's tariffs and cuts to federal food assistance are making this crisis worse.
President Trump promised to lower prices. Instead, we’ve seen housing prices soar, rising health care costs and increased prices due to tariffs—squeezing families when they can least afford it.
As we prepare for tonight’s State of the Union, remember: Actions speak louder than words.
