Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is reintroducing legislation Monday that would ban members of Congress and their spouses from
trading stocks while in office.
Hawley introduced the "PELOSI Act" in 2023, but failed to make progress under President Joe Biden's administration. The proposal has since gained popularity among lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, and President
Donald Trump himself said last week that he would "absolutely" sign such a ban if it came to his desk.
"Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to servenot day trading at the expense of their constituents," Hawley told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“ How you fellas doin? We about to have us a little screw party in this red Prius over here if you wanna join us.”
