One Senator is not pulling down a sector, ...one whole party is.

The drug sector is a safe haven sector historically but not if it is under attack. All other sectors have taken a hit or are too volatile for safe haven status. If you want to artificially suppress the market, just take away all safe havens.

The Dems learned what happens to the market when the drug companies are under assault. They probably do not care if they get legislation out of a push for more control over this sector. Without legislation prior to election, they can use it as an issue for the election and still keep the issue of the economy to bash the Repubs (...and yet it was their efforts that caused this artificial suppression).

It's doubtful the public would catch on to the scam so it's a win-win proposition for them.
