On Wednesday, Senator Braun sat down with Siraj Hashmi on The Washington Examiner‘s podcast Hashing it Out for a wide-ranging discussion on the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, as well as the real issues Hoosiers care about, like ideas to fix the broken healthcare system through price transparency and free-market principles, his bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, and the foreign policy situation with Iran.
As the House voted to send the impeachment articles against President Trump to the Senate for a trial, the debate is intensifying over how the Republican-led chamber should proceed. Should Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell move to bring forward witnesses in the trial or should he look for a speedy acquittal of the president?
My guest today is Sen. Mike Braun, a first-term Republican from Indiana.
On today’s show, we’re going to discuss how Republicans are approaching the Senate trial, as well as other political issues being debated on Capitol Hill such as healthcare, combating climate change, and restricting President Trump’s war powers.
