If, in 2022 or 2024, somebody gets seated in the United States Senate, or, God forbid, the White House who didn`t actually win the election, that`s a constitutional crisis. That could be the end of democracy.

I think that`s an enormous mistake. I don`t know that there`s going to be a Senate left to protect if we lose our democracy.

Donald Trump has told us loud and clear, transparently, openly, proudly, that he wants to steal the next election, that he thinks the vote counters are more important than the candidates.

I think we should be very worried.

We're supporting Ukraine's democratic future, whereas Russia is proposing an invasion or threatening an invasion to force the Ukrainian people into an alliance with Russia that they don't want.

Putin seems to be getting absolutely horrible advice, people telling him that he is going to be greeted as some kind of liberator in a country that has turned against Russia over the last 10 years and is going to fight for its survival.

I expect that that security commitment will continue. In fact, it should grow.

I think we have a badly outdated conception of the ways in which Egypt acts in the region.

Our assistance does not just save lives, it directly advances U.S. interests.

The election and peaceful accession of President Hakainde Hichilema represents a notable bright spot in Africa.

I think it is deplorable that 130 assistance workers have been killed in South Sudan since independence.

Egypt has shown us over and over again that they are willing to act in concert with us when it is also in their security interest.

The Zambian people have spoken. Like us, they too demand a more perfect union.

Restoring our diplomatic presence in Sudan presents an opportunity for America to be a force for good.

I will work to strongly encourage the codification of the efforts toward democratic principles, freedom of speech, openness, and engagement.

Sudan's long-term stability can only come through an inclusive political process that results in a civilian-led transition to democracy.

I commit myself to ensuring that within the embassy I will be completely dedicated to the morale, the productivity, and clear two-way communication with every member of my team.

If confirmed, I will lead U.S. Government efforts to support the Zambian people to seize this historic opportunity.

If confirmed, you will have the important task ahead of you to ensure that the peace accord signed in 2018 is fully implemented.

I want to make sure that as a committee we see the full picture of how you defend Ukraine.

I sometimes worry that American foreign policy has become dangerously sclerotic.

The United States seeks to remain a leading trading partner and foreign investor partner as the Philippines progresses toward economic recovery.

They have no business being there when they are clearly implicated in war crimes as we speak.

I think we are going to have to be tougher on our allies and partners in the region.

We have to think seriously about whether we want to subject millions of Yemenis to starvation as a consequence of that designation.
