We just had a vote on the January 6 riots and only had six strong souls to vote with us. That's a problem,” Gillibrand said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"And I don't think there's necessarily goodwill behind all negotiations, and I think the American people elected us to solve the problem of COVID, to rebuild the economy, rebuild the infrastructure, and I think it's our moment to act," she added.
Senate Republicans on Friday blocked legislation that aimed to establish a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in a 54 to 35 vote.
The vote was the caucus's first successful filibuster in the 117th Congress.
