From the beginning our message has been pretty simple - we need more outsiders and less career politicians in Washington. More folks that have done something in the real world.

I think there's prerogative on the part of the President to declassify.

I’m proud to co-sponsor The National Debt is National Security Act with Senator Ernst to limit the economic leverage of the CCP and preserve our economic and national security.

Just last month, the CDC released data that demonstrated natural immunity was 3-4 times as effective in preventing COVID-19 compared with vaccination, the Biden Administration needs to release the full data on natural immunity from HHS instead of imposing heavy-handed mandates and confusing guidance that have gotten in the way of our recovery. Americans deserve full transparency and answers.

I said until we get there that's a major threshold that the President has the right to look at anything and see if President Donald Trump can make the case, and that's been difficult to do so.

I wouldn't be for a bill that would be $ 1.8 trillion - $ 2 trillion, it's too much and there's going to be too much extraneous stuff as well.

I think there is a reasonable chance that it could happen where John Hoeven would get 13. I think that is 50/50.

As a Main Street Entrepreneur and conservationist, I know firsthand that if we want to address our changing climate then we need to facilitate real solutions that our farmers, environmentalists and industry can all support.

I think everyone in our conference is getting a little cautious about how much more can we do, as opposed to correcting it from a grassroots way by getting the economy going.

If someone wants to elbow bump, I'll let that other individual determine it, i'm going to shake hands because you're not going to eliminate that in this job anyway.

There's a lot of uncertainty in terms of what happens with the presiding officer.

I think Allan Dershowitz probably gave a lot more peace of mind to people that were wanting to see how to sort through it, when Allan Dershowitz made a strong case that each article was ill-founded, still going to make my decision when we finish this phase.

I think yes it probably will make the dynamic different, i'm not going to deny it's going to change the decibel level and probably the intensity of which we go about talking about witnesses.

I don't think that's going to happen. I don't even think it would. I don't think there's more information out there.

Senator Richard Lugar is a towering figure in Hoosier history and one of the greatest statesmen ever to serve in the U.S. Senate. As our longest serving Senator, he worked tirelessly with leaders across the globe to better the state and the country he loved, maureen and I are praying for the Senator Richard Lugar family in this difficult time.

While Hoosier premiums doubled and all but two insurers fled Indiana on Senator Donnelly's watch, Mike Braun delivered solutions by taking on the insurance companies, holding premiums steady for 10 years running and covering pre-existing conditions before it was cool.

Joe Donnelly voted against tax reform. As a congressman he voted for ObamaCare. And then when he could’ve had the deciding vote, he voted against repealing it. He voted for the Iranian deal and thank goodness we undid that.

He promised to drain the swamp and I want to be an ally, when I get there, you can count on it that I’m going there for the right reasons.

I thought there was the opportunity to define a different kind of candidacy, one from the outsider business world, the same thing Trump did.

I never voted for a Democrat at the state or national level, we did it solely to weigh in on our local races.

I was not calculating what I was doing back then to become a politician. I've done that out of frustration with what happens in DC, my wife and I were lifelong conservatives and Republicans living in a county that was, you know, completely Democratic in all the offices. So if you wanted to weigh in on your local and county elections, anybody that was a Republican there mostly voted in the Democratic.
