Senator Steve Daines on Pipeline Cancellation and Impeachment
Montana Senator Steve Daines was on the Montana Morning News show on Wednesday to discuss a variety of topics, but at the top of the list was President Biden’s cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline. “If you don’t believe that elections have consequences take a look at what happened within six hours after Joe Biden took the Office of the oath of office,” said Daines. “He killed the Keystone XL Pipeline one stroke of the pen. This is all part of Biden’s ‘make America unemployed again strategy’. He’s declared war on American energy. This is about putting Saudi Arabia first
Sen. Daines announces legislation to combat energy policies of Biden administration
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – Within his first week in office, President Joe Biden has made significant changes to the country’s energy industry through an array of executive orders. Last week, the president revoked a critical permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. On Wednesday, Biden paused all new oil and natural gas leases on public lands and offshore waters “to the extent possible.” Senator Steve Daines, R-Mont., says he’s joining with other western senators to introduce two bills, one to allow construction on the Keystone XL pipeline to continue, and another to reverse the moratorium on oil and gas leasing on
Daines: If Congress Can’t Balance the Budget, They Shouldn’t Get Paid
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U. S. Senator Steve Daines today re-introduced the “Balanced Budget Accountability Act” to hold Congress accountable and require a balanced budget or members won’t get paid. This legislation would help address our public debt crisis, and is the first bill Daines introduces each Congress. “With runaway public debt now exceeding $27 trillion, we face a looming crisis. In fact, since I introduced this bill two years ago, our debt has increased by more than 30%. The American people depend on Congress to do its job. Folks at home balance their budgets, Congress should be able to do the same,” Daines stated. “My bill, the ‘Balanced Budget Accountability Act’ will bring Montana
Sen. Steve Daines to Newsmax TV: Biden Taking US ‘Back to ’70s’
Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., on Tuesday said President Joe Biden’s executive order on the Keystone XL Pipeline “take(s) us back to the ’70s” regarding energy policy, bringing with it higher oil prices, inflation, loss of jobs, and national security implications. Daines ridiculed Biden, and Democrats as a whole, on Newsmax TV for their stance on the pipeline and other energy issues, saying the party is beholden to radical leftists. “Many of us remember what happened back in the 1970s, back when we were dependent on the Middle East for oil,” Danes, 58, told “Spicer & Co.” “Thank God for American

Daines said in a statement on Tuesday: With runaway public debt now exceeding $27 trillion, we face a looming crisis.

Moran, Daines, Hoeven plan bill to counteract Biden’s order to halt Keystone XL Pipeline project
Following President Joe Biden’s decision to revoke the cross-border operation permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, U.S. Sens. Jerry Moran (R-KS), Steve Daines (R-MT), and John Hoeven (R-ND) plan to introduce a GOP-led bill to authorize ongoing construction of the project. “Canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline will cost our country thousands of jobs, raise energy prices, and make us more dependent on foreign countries to supply our energy,” Sen. Moran said. “At a time when our economy and communities are hurting due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we should be focusing on sending people back to work not taking their jobs
Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT): “The Democrats Have Left The Blue Collar Folks Behind”
On Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla, Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) explains why President Biden’s Keystone Pipeline policy his hurting the American worker and why Senate Democrats should not hold a second impeachment trial for former President Trump. “They’ve become enemies now of the American worker. They talk about the green-on-blue fight that is occurring in the Democratic Party, the green green folks versus the blue collar. The Democrats have left the blue collar folks behind. That is why President Trump had such a strong following of American workers, because he was standing up for them. And unfortunately, we tried

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today cosponsored a bill to award Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman, the man who led the mob away from the U.S. Senate floor on January 6th, with the Congressional Gold Medal. “Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman is an American hero. On January 6th, he helped save the U.S. Senate, the Capitol and our democracy. Officer Goodman deserves the Congressional Gold Medal,” Daines said. On Inauguration Day, Senator Daines was able to catch up with Officer Goodman and thank him for his brave service in person.
Daines: Biden Putting Saudi Arabia First
Revenue for schools. Revenue for infrastructure. Aside from the short-term construction jobs fueled by the Keystone XL pipeline, there is a reason it enjoys such strong support across Montana. When Joe Biden halted the Keystone pipeline his first week in office, he also halted American jobs and at least $60 million in revenue that would flow to counties in Eastern Montana every single year. When I caught up with county commissioners in Dawson County (Glendive) several years ago, they estimated the pipeline would bring in $9-$19 million a year just for Dawson County alone. If Biden’s plans aren’t halted- kiss
