Former senators
Thank you Americans from coast to coast.
Trump asked the people to vote as if he were on the ballot.
Together we have affirmed that our task is not just to contain one president’s wickedness but to heal the brokenness beneath, that this moment is an opening not for restoration but for reformation.
I’ll focus on the right issues. I’ll stand up to my party and the president when it’s right for New Hampshire, and I’ll get things done.
Chris Pappas talks about all the things he wants to do and wants to accomplish, but he’s been there for eight years and he hasn’t gotten the job done.
“He pushes drag shows for kids … is that grooming? Yeah, he probably is grooming.”
“We occasionally handed some accounts over to a collection agency, just like nearly every private medical practice does.”
And we have five words to the American people: Relief is on the way.
The American people have rebuked the depravity, corruption and incompetence of the failed lame-duck President Donald J. Trump.
This moment is not for restoration, but for reformation.
The titans of Silicon Valley dig bunkers for themselves and warn that the artificial intelligence they’re creating risks human extinction.
The top issue, cost of living, is very real. Too many in politics dismissed it.
Americans have never lost faith that they can change this country with their vote. The onus is now on us to prove them right.
Elections have always been the strongest lever Americans have to counter a wannabe king, so long as Americans are willing to use it. Yesterday, America did.
They entrusted us with the majority to do what they, the American people, want. Republicans received that opportunity two years ago and completely squandered it.
Many of the folks who voted for us yesterday, of course, are still skeptical. That's OK. These voters did not give us the majority so we can do whatever we want.
OK, again, to repeat the answer, the issue is not me. I'll be re-elected as majority leader. But the issue is focusing on the American people and what they want.
Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism.
Over the last two years, Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment that’s created safer streets, more money in Americans’ pockets, and new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead.
It is dark right now, but it is always darkest before the dawn, and morning is coming.
Understandably, people were pissed off, and elected Republicans didn't do enough to address their very real pain.
