Senator Maggie Hassan, who faces a tough reelection bid in New Hampshire this year, has been outspoken in her denunciations of Big Oil.

In March 2018, Hassan took to the Senate floor to accuse Donald Trump of being โ€œfocused on an agenda that is based on climate change denial,โ€ and his administration of putting โ€œthe priorities of Big Oil companiesโ€ above the best interests of the countryโ€™s natural resources.
