Senate GOP populists push Republican colleagues to back railway regulations, arguing 'their voters' are the most affected by disasters

• Congress hasn't acted legislatively since the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
• Sens. Vance, Hawley, and Rubio are touting a bill to enact new regulations on the rail industry.
• They're trying out a new argument for their Republican colleagues: these are your voters.

Nearly two months have passed since a Norfolk Southern train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, leading to an ongoing environmental crisis for the town's residents.
