U.S. Senate

We want to reach across the aisle and hammer out a budget that delivers for the American people.

The country needs an Attorney General who will check the worst impulses of this administration. I hope Mr. Blanche is able to achieve that, if confirmed, but I simply do not have confidence that will be the case.

Democrats support voter ID

I am reluctant to impede the department's work fighting violent crime.

By scrambling the Democrats, we’ll spread their resources thin, making it nearly impossible for them to flip the seats they need to take the majority.

They cannot afford their groceries. They cannot afford the cost of gas. They cannot afford housing. It’s all over the country.

Time is not on our side, and I hope the conversations will take place quickly.

This bill is the bill that will pass and be signed into law by the president.

I'm not even going to try to channel my inner Lindsey Graham, except to say, as he said to me in some of his last words, 'This is a big effing deal.'

Todd Blanche claims he was Donald Trump's personal attorney but is continuing to act as if he's still Donald Trump's personal attorney.

Why is it a misconception that we don’t think that these states can get their error rates down in the next year and a half?

We are truly sending a message that Tennessee is a conservative state and that all of these woke policies, all this move towards Communism, that ends at the Tennessee state line.

I cannot overstate Mr. Walls’ and Mr. Courcelle’s support for Mr. Blanche.

Such a change would fundamentally alter the purpose and protections of permanent [Fish and Wildlife] wetland easements.

I am told that Senate confirmation is important in interactions with the president, with others in the Cabinet and is important to DOJ employees in general. Being Senate-confirmed gives him greater leverage to push for things that should…

It is between Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general who may not run the department effectively under President Trump.

Being Senate-confirmed gives him greater leverage to push for things that should be pushed for.

Beyond his obvious qualifications and successful track record, Blanche has demonstrated extraordinary patience, compassion and tenacity as he’s made his way through the gauntlet of the Senate’s advice and consent process.

I have a history with Mr. Trump. But that history does not matter one bit.

Senate Republicans have handed Trump an excuse on a silver platter to keep up his pervasive, breathtaking corruption.
