Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, is one of the most outspoken members of his party when it comes to foreign policy. In this week’s On NOTUS, Murphy speaks with host Reese Gorman about why he thinks Democrats need to block all legislation in the Senate until there’s a vote on war authorization with Iran. He also discusses how his party can talk about affordability in the context of the war and what he thinks a 2028 nominee for president needs to bring to the table.

Together, we cover government and politics with the fresh eyes of newcomers and the expertise of veterans. We call it like we see it, no matter whose narrative it fits or how many clicks it will get.
