Vermont senator Peter Welch hopes 'we kill the bill'

Season 2025 Episode 7 | 35m 24s

Special guest on Vermont Edition, Vermont’s junior senator Peter Welch laid out his argument against the budget bill. “That's why a big part of my time is, how can I encourage or persuade three or four of my Republican colleagues, for instance, to vote no on this bill?” he said. Welch was Vermont’s representative to Congress from 2007 to 2023, until he was sworn into the Senate.
