Former governors

If they don’t take it up, I’ll give you a prediction: The November 2026 elections are going to look a whole lot worse for Republicans than the November 2025 elections did.

Don’t ask me to assume failure on the effort that we’re undertaking.

Frankly, I viewed the situation last weekend as we had no path, none, to a health care fix until we reopened government.

I don’t need to freelance opinions about House leadership.

we ought to be able to agree on some changes, like capping the income of people who receive those premium tax credits.

We need as a party to stay laser focused on health care and to remind voters who's really to blame for this mess that we're in, because it's not Democrats. It is Donald Trump, and it is Speaker Johnson – and the Republican majorities in…

You look at our record, and you tell me what you've done to protect the healthcare of Americans, and it's not even close to what we've done.

We need to put the shutdown behind us, end the circular firing squad, and remember why we're in this situation.

I don’t tell Ro Khanna or AOC or anybody else who you should pick as your House leader, because I got a full-time job being a senator.

I have criticized Secretary of State Marco Rubio for paying $7.5 million to the government of Equatorial Guinea.

I appreciate Senator King's efforts here, but it's not going to work.

There’s a lot of good people out here that are looking for a pathway forward.

There’s a lot of young, aggressive, good people with good intentions that love the country and have the youth and vigor to do it, and I’m going to be looking for those people.

Listen, this is not normal. Nothing like this has ever happened before. And we shouldn’t be hating each other.

I intend to submit my resignation next week and turn to protecting all of New Jersey.

I promised I would take on the status quo. I would fight the big fights, because that's what people expect of their leaders.
