When I first started campaigning, I was really excited. Two-thirds of the way through, I thought, 'Why am I doing this?' Then I got really excited when I realized I was going to win.

I'm just really proud of the Democratic caucus. I look around in our meetings, and I think we really look like America.

I kind of grew up with a mix of two things. One was kind of this individual work ethic that my father and my stepfather and my mother all taught me, which was never depend on anyone else to do things for you, and work really hard on your own. At the same time, I benefited from the help of church and family and government my whole life.

I'm not a member of any faith community, and I think faith is a deeply personal issue that individuals should deal with in their private lives.

I was just born involved in politics. My family is conservative Mormon, and so I was born - although the Mormon faith is not inherently political, their faith requires some political stands, and those are ones that I happen to disagree with vehemently - so I was just political from a very early age.

Sometimes when troops are overseas working these incredibly long hours in a difficult situation, they're not always hearing how much they're appreciated.

As you know, I did not support the United States' engagement in Iraq and have long had concerns about Afghanistan... But I obviously have always been 100 percent supportive of our military.

For too long political games in Washington on both sides of the aisle have stopped progress towards protecting our communities and keeping families safe and secure, casting blame and trading political barbs and attacks became the path of least resistance, but the communities across our country who have experienced senseless violence deserve better than Washington politics as usual.

She has proven herself an obstacle to the right to vote in the United States.

These bills help treat the symptoms of the disease, but they do not fully address the disease itself, and while I continue to support these bills, I will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division affecting our country.

There's no need for me to restate my longstanding support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation. There's no need for me to restate its role in protecting our country from wild reversals of federal policy.

While I continue to support these bills, I will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country.

The Senate’s 60-vote threshold has proved maddening to members of both political parties in recent years, to save the country from radical policies, depending on whether you serve in the majority or the minority.

Today marks the longest time in history that the Senate has been equally divided, the House of Representatives is nearly equally divided as well. Our mandate, it seems evident to me, [is] work together and get stuff done for America.

Demands to eliminate this threshold from whichever party holds the fleeting majority amount to a group of people separated on two sides of a canyon shouting that solution to their colleagues. I understand there’s some on both sides of the aisle, how embarrassing for Joe Biden.

There's no need for me to restate my longstanding support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation. There's no need for me to restate its role in protecting our country from wild reversals of federal policy, this week's harried discussions about Senate rules are but a poor substitute for what I believe could have and should have been a thoughtful public debate at any time over the past year.

When one party need only negotiate with itself, policy will be inextricably pushed from the middle towards the extremes, i understand there are some on both sides of the aisle who prefer it that way, but I do not. Arizonans do not.

Yet lawmakers have indicated they're pivoting away from corporate tax hikes due to opposition from Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, a crucial swing vote.Biden said last week that Kyrsten Sinema.
