Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., deflected tough questions about a potential congressional pay raise. Durbin emphasized the complexities surrounding the issue and avoided directly answering the questions posed to him. The questions, from CNN reporter Manu Raju, were met with strong pushback from Durbin.
Durbin acknowledged that a pay raise for Congress could be a contentious topic among constituents. Despite pressures and inquiries, Durbin maintained a position of non-commitment on the issue of salary adjustments. He did call the possibility of a pay increase “good news,” and pushed back at the reporter, calling out CNN’s dwindling viewer base.
