They, too, have experienced divisions in government and divisions in their own system.

We cannot let this moment pass by. The reality is this, over the next several years, we will have no choice but to increase our national energy production. This is an unprecedented opportunity … to come together to show the American people…
Americans can’t afford to wait for lower electricity prices. We need to pass this bill now.
People should just cool their jets and have a little faith that this is not the end of the story.
If we can create an open, competitive level playing field, clean is cheap, and cheap wins in the marketplace.
I think we deal with the funding and we use that to end the war.
I was open to hearing what the arguments are
Our conference needs to sit down and have a frank discussion about where we fell short, what we stand for, and what we’re going to do for the working families who sent us here,
We first need to digest what happened last week and make plans to move forward,
Holding leadership elections without engaging in a robust discussion and evaluation of how those running for leadership intend to lead would be political malpractice,
We need to have serious discussions within our conference as to what we can do to improve the outcome in 2028.
Tuesday's result was a stunning defeat, and there are multiple reasons for it,
Until we all have a chance to hear from leadership candidates as to what type of collaborative conference governing model we should adopt and what our strategy will be to counter the emboldened Democrats.
If we don’t deliver, all this will go away. This is just the first step. But I think we’re united together to do that.
I’m not in a political office. As you know, I just don’t comment on domestic politics.
I think the president took on something that other presidents have failed to do. Sometimes, when you do the right thing, you don't know whether it's popular or not, but it's still the right thing to do. Presidents are elected to take on…
If we want to have an immigration reform to where we can look at DACA and figure out a way that these individuals can become maybe legal permanent citizens or something like this, that’ll be up to Congress.
We’re never going to allow amnesty to happen.
I’ve let the president know that those calls are coming in, and the president has said, ‘Let’s start working with them and then let’s meet at some point.’
I think this first step is how long is it gonna take us to agree on what our path should be?
Back home, they don't care about anything other than do we make their lives better.
Here’s my view: You don’t get to turn a blind eye to cops being punched, speared, sprayed, and brutalized and call yourself a friend of law enforcement.
