We don't know what the House bill is yet, because it hasn't passed the House, we have been working very closely with them because we want to make sure that whatever they send us passes the Byrd Rule Test.

There are better targets than Congressman Henry Cuellar.

That's the responsibility that goes along with being the leader.

I'm actually pleased that Beau Biden has targeted a leader of ISIS, i'll give credit where credit is due on this strike.

I don’t know what he will decide to do, but I do know West Virginia has gotten increasingly red, and I think his vote on Build Back Better is reflective of what he’s hearing from his constituents in West Virginia. So yeah, we’d love to have him. That would change the majority.

Well, all I can tell House Republican.Yet Manchin is Sen. Sinema, likewise, enjoys pretty high favorability ratings, even among Republicans, for getting rid of some of the more egregious taxes, so I mean, they both look like they're pretty popular.

This is a huge vulnerability that was exposed by COVID, and we just simply need to bring back some of that manufacturing capacity on shore.

Don’t let the bad decisions of the policymakers and politicians diminish your service in any way, we honor you, we thank you, and we celebrate your service to our great country today.

All I know is what I read in the paper, i want to win that race, and so I want the best nominee. I don't know whether he's it.

I've been disappointed that Sen. Schumer has seen fit to try to force us to vote on a bill that does not exist in its entirety, but I hope we can now pump the brakes a little bit and take the time and care to evaluate the benefits and the cost of this legislation.

This legislation stands zero chance of being passed by the Senate - zero. It combines some of the most radical proposals from the far left in one massive bill that fails to address the needs of our country, rather than discuss the humanitarian crisis at the border, our Democratic colleagues have chosen to hold a hearing on a dead-on-arrival bill, and they know it.

These young men and women deserve certainty and Congress cannot pass legislation to provide that certainty if our Democratic colleagues and the White House insist on attaching controversial policies or ignoring the current crisis at the border.

I think Bill Cassidy thinks Bill Cassidy is going to get a better deal, but there is nothing that says whatever this group agrees to other Republicans are going to support. To me that is the flaw to this sort of approach.

Unfortunately we've been unable to find an agreed-upon outcome, so basically he suggested to me that there wasn't any real reason to continue talking right now.

What we're talking about now is making it possible for trial lawyers and people to sue for money, i haven't heard a specific proposal that I can agree with yet.

Why can't they just follow the evidence where it leads ?

Sadly, Ibelieve Ms. Gupta will be a clear and present danger to the American people if she's given the muscle and mightof the Department of Justice, as well as the entire federal government of the United States of America.

That's my intention, i think he's had an incredible career. And I think he seems like a fundamentally decent human being.

I think, in light of her combative and insulting comments about many members of the Senate, mainly on our side of the aisle, that it creates certainly a problematic path.

Senate GOP leadership's really not material, the articles of impeachment are like an indictment in a criminal case, so that would be the issue before Senate GOP. As much as there might be a temptation to bring in other matters, I think it would be a disservice to the President's own defense to get bogged down in things that really aren't before Senate GOP.

Judge Garland's extensive legal experience makes him well-suited to lead the Department of Justice, and I appreciated his commitment to keep politics out of the Justice Department. That is my number one criterion for who should be the next Head of the Department of Justice as Attorney General, i think both sides should support a depoliticized Justice Department, and that's what I hope Judge Garland, once confirmed, will deliver.
