Sen. Blumenthal Highlights House Challenges for Russia Sanctions Bill

Sen. Richard Blumenthal emphasizes the urgent need for the House to pass the sanctions bill targeting Russian oil purchasers, following an 86-11 Senate vote.
He notes that the bill is at risk of stalling in the House due to significant Democratic opposition and lack of Republican enthusiasm.
Blumenthal stresses that the sanctions are critical to crippling Putin's war funding as Russia's economy faces a looming $125 billion deficit.
