WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined National Report on Newsmax to discuss his leadership of H.R. 2422 – The Cape Canaveral Act, a Senate proposal to ban stock trading for members of Congress, and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee testimony of top Biden-Harris aides.

"Our hope is...that we clear some of these environmental hurdles":

"So our hope is that SpaceX, the Starship platform, will be able to use this pad, Pad 37. I was out there yesterday touring it. Actually, they want to be able to create two launch pads on that site so SpaceX will be able to launch more vehicles at a faster pace. The reason why it has to be completely reconstructed is that you couldn't use the previous infrastructure that was designed for a very different rocket system so they have to start from scratch. It's also a site that was built sometime in the late 60s so a lot of the infrastructure is aged and has to torn down and rebuilt. Our hope is, is that we clear some of these environmental hurdles with the Department of Defense very quickly so that the space mission in Florida can continue to expand."

"[Democrats] don't have a leader right now...They are a party really in shambles":

"They [Democrats] don't have a leader right now. I think Kamala Harris wants it to be her, but they're all fighting it out about the future of the party. Why would we be surprised? They are a party really in shambles... I believe so, I think she [Kamala Harris] should be called in [to testify in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee]. Look, she has an opportunity to put all this to rest. She was the number two, she was right there everyday and every meeting with Joe Biden according to her. So now's an opportunity to put this to bed once and for all. I think she should just volunteer her time to come in and testify - no need for a subpoena. But if she doesn't want to come, then we should subpoena her testimony because what was going on in the Biden Administration, as far as I'm concerned, is crystal clear - you had a President who was not running the White House and not running the Executive Branch. Aides were doing that and those aides were not elected to serve as commander-in-chief. And so we need to know the depth of his incapacity and then, from that knowledge, we can make broader determinations of some of the orders or laws that were signed towards the end of Joe Biden's Presidency, and whether those are valid or not."
