After those discussions, I have decided that being on the ballot next year is not the right decision for me and my family.

I’ve got a lot of options open to me. There’s the governor’s race, there’s the Senate race, and then there’s my district, which I love.

not the right decision for me and my family.

I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy. I campaigned for no more foreign wars.

As I said last week, that kind of misconduct, I think, exceeds virtually any prior standard for that kind of inquiry in the House.

I stand by those comments 100% and I think that the GOP should be concerned that the incumbent president appears to be selling access.

This administration is withholding funding left and right to anything that has to do with Black people, Indigenous people, Latino people.

If the Republican campaign message in the midterms is to vote for House Republicans and vote for Republican candidates for Senate to stop the Democrats from impeaching Trump, the American people are not going to care because they’ve seen that show twice, and it didn’t matter.

I’m confident that as Whip, he will continue his work unifying our caucus and advancing our shared priorities.

When the Dems expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, they made that percentage match 90-10%. So the federal government is paying 90% of the Medicaid expansion.

He’s not going to run for another term.

When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him.

The only way to achieve what you want to achieve is to have a majority United States House of Representatives.

the president’s conduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment.

Nobody would be kicked off Medicaid as long as the governors decided that they wanted to continue to fund the program.

What am I going to do? I am going to stand by my president. I’m going to support my president. And I’m going to fight for his agenda with everything I have in Congress.

This is a town hall; this is not a political rally. This is not a protest. If you end up in wanting to protest, if you want to shout and chant, we will have you removed, just like that man was thrown out. We will not tolerate it.

We also have to recognize that the majority in the room were standing and cheering when those people were thrown out, and again, it was the protesters who were out of line.
