Hurt by Trump, Senate Republicans plan to bolster affordability credentials before midterms

Senate Republicans are set to vote on the Ratepayer Protection Act to tackle rising electricity prices. They aim to win over voters struggling with inflation caused by various issues, including the Iran war. Republican candidates are distancing themselves from Trump to show independence on relevant local concerns. This vote follows the House's overwhelming approval of the bill, which focuses on utility costs linked to data centers.
