Senators Channel Bipartisanship in an Effort to Fight Sexual Assault in the Military
Support for legislation overhauling military sexual assault policies has reached new levels in the Senate, and the measure’s sponsors say this is a prime example of how Congress can channel bipartisanship.
“The give-and-take process that we went through to arrive at a solution that has gained the support of 61 co-sponsors, this is a template. We want Americans to see that bipartisanship is alive and well,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) told CBS News’ John Dickerson. “It takes friendships. It takes a lot of discussions. And certainly a partnership and finding partnership through that collaboration. This is what the rest of Congress should be doing at a time like this, too.”
