Comment by Marsha Blackburn
U.S. Senator from Tennessee
Instead of pushing AI amnesty, President Trump rightfully called on Congress to pass federal standards and protections to solve the patchwork of state laws that has hindered AI innovation. Now, Congress must answer his call to establish one federal rulebook for AI to protect children, creators, conservatives, and communities across the country and ensure America triumphs over foreign adversaries in the global race for AI dominance.

Verified. The blackburn.senate.gov source URL returns HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim from Senator Marsha Blackburn's March 2026 release of her National Policy Framework for AI / "TRUMP AMERICA AI Act": "Instead of pushing AI amnesty, President Trump rightfully called on Congress to pass federal standards and protections to solve the patchwork of state laws that ha[s] hindered AI innovation," and the framework's stated goal of "one federal rulebook for AI" that "protects children, creators, conservatives, and communities" and ensures the U.S. wins the global AI race against foreign adversaries (corroborated by Global Policy Watch, Inside Global Tech, Bloomberg Government, K&L Gates coverage). Author attribution is correct (U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn, R-TN). Year 2026 is current. Vote alignment: the vote "against" on the statement "States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government" correctly matches the quote, which advocates a single federal rulebook to replace the patchwork of state laws — i.e., opposing states retaining authority to set their own stricter standards. (Note: coverage indicates her draft does not expressly preempt all state laws and preserves certain protections like NO FAKES/KOSA, but the quote's plain thrust favors federal uniformity over state-level stricter standards, so "against" is the correct alignment.) Source URL is the appropriate primary source.
