U.S. Governors

President Trump should be focusing on reopening the government that he controls instead of repeatedly fighting to take away food from American families.

There is a chaos and it is an intentional chaos that we are seeing from this administration and where they have money for everything.

I'm a capitalist, I'm a Democrat, and I won by 15 points in Virginia.

It should shock everyone that universities, public and private, are receiving demands from the federal government.

We absolutely need everyone to vote to open the government.

The government needs to open and it needs to open immediately.

If you subscribe to the adage a ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, what they're trying to do is invest the single largest amount of money in improving rural health.

We've been getting really good response from the Trump administration across the board.

I think they know, and everyone's frustrated, that you're six votes short. These Democrats are saying no to reopening the government. It's a Schumer shutdown.

This shutdown could come to an end right away. It's up to Chuck Schumer or just having six more Democrats step across the line.

My job is to make sure that I'm protecting the democratic process.

I think fighting for democracy is never risky.

I would tell them that we need to ensure that reopening the government does not mean kicking my people off of health care.

I want the government reopened now.

There is no pain that is worth it. Our people are hurting, and they're hurting because of these games that we continue to see from Washington, DC.

We are watching the president who is literally breaking the law so people can starve, but we're not going to sit there and tolerate in our state.

I'm not going to allow Donald Trump to determine whether or not Maryland follows this idea of saying, are we going to do everything we can to make sure we're preserving our democracy.

Where we differ is the urgency that this moment requires, the fight that this moment requires.

Fighting for democracy is never risky.

That's not the way this process is going to work.

I'm not sure why we should be playing by a different set of rules than Texas, or than Florida, or than Ohio or all these other places.

With this vote, you guys just screamed from the rooftops.

The chaos coming out of Washington is killing Virginia jobs.

This ruling, now the fourth of its kind, validates the facts on the ground. Oregon does not want or need military intervention, and President Trump’s attempts to federalize the guard is a gross abuse of power.
