Thank you for the welcome to the Committee. I am eager. There is a lot of great work to be done this session.

If confirmed, Attorney General Becerra will be the first Latino Secretary of Health and Human Services, an honor I know that he will not take lightly.

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken an incredible toll on our lives and our communities across the United States.

What message do you believe this is sending to other domestic violent extremists let alone foreign adversaries?

I understand there are a lot of people saying they would like to see a reconstruction of the events of January 6th and how they came to be.

I was one of three Senators who was not in chambers on January 6th.

if people are true to their oath, then we should be convicting Trump in short order. And if we don’t, then I think there’s going to be a lot of Republicans with a lot of explaining to do.

it’s absolutely constitutional and legal and more than appropriate in this case.

justice will prevail enough of our Republican colleagues will be true to their conscience, true to their values, true to the oath they’ve taken, and vote to convict Donald Trump.
