I think it's good for the judiciary to have people elected from the State having input as to who should be a lifetime Federal district court judge.

Thank you for working with the Biden administration, to the extent you can, to keep the Senate intact as much as possible.

America is going to be subject to 9/11 attacks imminent, quote, 'every few days' across America due to Biden's open border of terrorism.

I am grateful to recognize the 2023 Army Congressional Fellow, Major Gustavo Caruso, for his service to the office of the Second Congressional District of South Carolina. His yearlong service in Congress is ending, and Gus will be missed…

Thank you for bringing these important bipartisan measures that are coming up today before the Foreign Affairs Committee.

But I cannot understand why we buy Chinese tech products for government agencies. It is mind-boggling to me.

I want the Senate at the end of the day still to be the Senate, and it's going to take working together.

I think it's good for the judiciary to have people elected from the State having input as to who should be a lifetime Federal district court judge.

I am especially grateful to serve as co-lead on the NATO Parliamentary Assembly President Gerry Connolly's Russia-North Korea Cooperation Sanctions Act.
