Can We Afford This?

from Grounded with Jon Tester & Maritsa Georgiou Hosted by Jon Tester & Maritsa Georgiou

JT & MG sit down with Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL), a member of the House Financial Services Committee, to dig into a new report from Climate Power and the Center for American Progress on the rising cost of living. Casten, who spent 20 years in the energy industry before Congress, breaks down why natural gas prices are spiking, how blocking cheap renewable energy is driving up bills, and why Democrats need to talk about energy costs more, not less. On Monday, we’ll have a live conversation with the Cook Political Report's Erin Covey about the midterm landscape. Let us know which races you want us to dig into!
