Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) — Ranking Member, Digital Assets Subcommittee of the Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs Committee
LISTEN: Laslo & Gallego
Ask a Pol asks:
How you feeling about the stablecoin measure before the Senate?
Key Gallego:
“Feeling good. I mean, the progress has continuously been good,” Sen. Ruben Gallego — who helped spearhead the recent Democratic revolt to the bipartisan GENIUS Act that’s before the US Senate over $TRUMP meme coins — exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “The agreements that we’ve struck have been very good. I think everyone on both sides have been working really in an honest manner to bring a good strong bill to the floor.”
Landmine ahead…?
Do you think the Durbin-Marshall amendment would kill the bipartisan stablecoin measure?
“I think it would,” Gallego says.

Caught our ear:
“I'm in favor of just keeping this as close to digital currency and stablecoin as possible,” Gallego tells us of the GENIUS Act which is facing an onslaught of 60+ amendments on the Senate floor.
Lot of moving parts in Congress right now…
What should we ask Congress next?
