Co-host Alisyn Camerota said, “September. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said the White House is essentially asleep at this point. Couldn’t they have been engaged before?
Maloney said, “Well, the White House has come up with solutions. We’re working on imports right now. They’re doing all kinds of things. Congress is responsible. There’s going to be a hearing on another committee next week, not my committee. We asked for a briefing at the end of the month. Our briefing will come from the private sector.

Camerota continued, “I think the real issue was that the Abbott memorial service was in mid-February. We’re in mid-May. So can’t the federal government do something sooner?”
Maloney added, “Well, we’re reacting now. We responded immediately. The White House is fully occupied. Agencies do. We’re working to find a solution, and we invite Republicans to join us in finding a solution.”
