Exclusive: Senate Majority Leader John Thune
Summary
With a preliminary agreement to end the Iran conflict now in place, the U.S. is on track to return to a pre-war economy - but not everyone in Washington is celebrating. Senate Majority Leader John Thune sat down with Bret to explain the GOP’s opposition to President Trump’s Iran deal, and what it means as negotiations enter the final stage.
Senator Thune also weighs in on the President’s push to attach the SAVE Act to FISA, the unfolding drama over the President’s DNI nominee, and the GOP's chances of holding the Senate majority this midterms season.
