At the start of her third term in office and weighing a run for president, Klobuchar in recent weeks has emphasized her renewed push for cheaper prescription drugs, and for tighter privacy laws for social media users. With both, she's touting collaboration with Republican colleagues in hopes of progress despite a divided Congress.
