Chris Murphy

The committee in charge of inaugurating the president should confirm who that President is.

It may also be that Biden has a hard time getting anybody put into place.

I'm going to give and gladly give deference to the Biden team with respect to their national security picks.

McConnell is carrying water for the K Street crowd.

The country rejected Donald Trump.

He is the president of the Senate. He is the majority leader. He is in charge. And as long as he stays outside of the room, there's very little hope to get something done by the end of the year.

So, as much as folks out there don't really want to hear about process, they just want to get this bill over the finish line and get some relief, get unemployment benefits turned back on, until Mitch McConnell decides to actually negotiate…

This point about political incentives, I think, is really important.

Nobody is ever going to run for the Secretary of State in Georgia on the Republican ticket ever again who has an ounce of common sense.

As this Republican Party becomes more and more divorced from truth, eventually there is a real threat to democracy.

Trump has created this reservoir, right, of folks who now trade in and soak up conspiracy theories that Republicans are going to attempt to tap into.

Joe Biden is going to have a mountain of a job when he gets sworn in. He's going to have to essentially start from scratch with respect to pandemic response.

As Donald Trump is continually distracted by this sideshow of contesting the election just because his ego is bruised, we're not at the negotiating table getting a package done to help this country through what is going to be a brutal…

It's very hard, if not impossible, to negotiate a big, complex piece of legislation like a billion dollar relief package without the president.

People don't understand, what's at stake in Georgia is whether or not there will be any relief, any help for the people who are struggling, and maybe even a vaccine that's distributed properly.

But still not a single word from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell about whether he will join us in the real world, where Joe Biden is the next president of the United States.

Right now, our focus needs to be on making sure that there is a Senate, there are 50 members of the Senate that will vote to fund the vaccination distribution program in this country.

What we need for Mitch McConnell to do is just enter the negotiating room. He has refused to negotiate with anybody, with Nancy Pelosi, with Chuck Schumer, again, because he's afraid of splitting his caucus.

But his silence is, frankly, more damaging to the country, because what's happening right now is that 30 to 40 percent of the American public has come to the conclusion that elections are rigged, that they are illegitimate if Democrats win.

Anybody that shows up tomorrow with the intent of harassing a voter to interfere in the election is committing a state crime, but also committing a federal crime. You are going to get arrested, you are going to do jail time.

I think you're going to have a huge turnout tomorrow of Democratic voters, young voters, black voters, Latino voters, populations that often wait until Election Day to show up.

The impression he is creating is not reality. Voting is going to be safe tomorrow.

Well, what you have to understand is that there are right wing extremist (inaudible) for months who are pushing Trump's order to violence, making claims there is going to be a Democrat coup on Election Day.

If you want to protect the Affordable Care Act, you have to focus not only on the White House, but on replacing Mitch McConnell because he is going to do everything possible to try to facilitate every means whether it be legislative or…

We thought it was really important to give Republicans a chance to go on the record in support of a court case that will end up ending protections for 130 million people with pre-existing conditions.
