Gillibrand discusses her priorities for the new Congress, with Democrats taking majorities in both chambers...
With both chambers of Congress set to be controlled by Democrats in January... New York's junior U.S. senator has outlined a list of six of her top priorities when the new Congress convenes.  Kirsten Gillibrand held a virtual press conference with statewide media outlets, one week after the "blue tsunami" on Election Day.  Gillibrand says she is "laser-focused" on lowering costs, which she says begins with ending the war with Iran... as gas prices are up more than 40% higher than they were before the war.  She adds home heating oil costs are also rising.  Gillibrand says her second priority is reining in the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, which have contributed to rising costs... which she says a Democrat Majority can do through legislation.  The New York Democrat says she also wants to restore access to health care.  She says millions of Americans are either paying more for health care or have lost coverage completely due to the Trump Administration's cuts... and, she says Democrats are "united" to restoring Medicaid funding, and lowering health insurance premiums.  Gillibrand says her other three priorities are common sense guardrails for artificial intelligence, protecting Social Security, and cracking down on corruption.
