AUDIO: “And Go Broke?” Rob Bresnahan Says He Won’t Stop Trading Stocks in Congress Because He’s Worried About His Own Profit

In stunning new audio, Bresnahan says he won’t stop his prolific stock trading because he’s worried about his own personal profit

Rob Bresnahan has made a stunning new admission – on tape, and in his own words. 

New audio reveals that the multi-millionaire who campaigned on a pledge to ban congressional stock trading is now refusing to stop his own trading while in Congress because he’s worried he’ll “lose money and go broke.” 

[WVIA, 7/31/25]

WVIA: “Bresnahan won’t just tell his stock brokers to stop trading stocks.”

Bresnahan: “And then do what with it? Just leave it all in accounts and just leave it there and lose money and go broke?

The new audio comes as Bresnahan has faced intense blowback for campaigning on a promise to ban congressional stock trading, but instead has become a prolific trader in Congress. Bresnahan is also facing scrutiny for walking back his promise to put his millions in assets into a blind trust, and for dumping stock in a Medicaid provider before voting to gut Medicaid. Bresnahan’s Medicaid-related stock dump was even criticized on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

Now, even Republicans are privately fretting that Bresnahan’s stock trading scandals could cost him his seat next November.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Multi-millionaire Rob Bresnahan is full of shit. He campaigned on a promise to ban congressional stock trading, but is now saying that he must continue his prolific trading in order to prevent himself from going broke. He doesn’t care about his constituents – he only cares about his bottom line.”
