Description
The U.S. Senate, once hailed as the "world's greatest deliberative body," has devolved into a chamber where robust debate and individual senator input have become rare commodities.

As the Senate approaches new leadership elections, Kevin Kosar from the American Enterprise Institute shares how there's a unique opportunity for senators to reclaim their role as active lawmakers and restore the chamber's deliberative nature.
