Right now, the most serious attempt to overthrow our democracy in the history of this country is underway. Those who are pushing to make Donald Trump President for a second term, no matter the outcome of the election are engaged in a…

But I think it's important to recognize that there's a whole bunch of other Republicans in Congress, who actually do believe that their loyalty to the President outstrips their loyalty to the country.

Josh Hawley and anyone who supports his effort are engaged in the attempted overthrow of democracy. Senator Hawley's efforts are not going to change the result of the election. But they pose a grave threat to American democracy, maybe not…

But let's be clear. Josh Hawley and anyone who supports his effort are engaged in the attempted overthrow of democracy. There is no evidence that there was any fraud. Senator Hawley apparently believes that, if a Democrat wins the…

600 billionaires got a trillion dollars richer this year. And the question before Senate Republicans is this. Are you willing to spend an amount equal to just half of that windfall to America's billionaires in order to help 160 million…

America has 600 billionaires. Now, $1 billion doesn't sound like a lot of money these days. President Trump just signed a bill, begrudgingly, that has $900 billion in it. But trust me--$1 billion is still a whole lot of money. It is…

Republicans want to undermine government in general. They really don't believe the government can solve any problems.

If American democracy is going to survive, we have to do more than just say elections aren't rigged. We actually have to repair democracy.

Republicans have decided -- not all Republicans -- but far too many have decided that if democracy can't keep Trump in power, then democracy ceases to have any real purpose.

If this is the tactic that they will employ, if they are willing to just overturn an election result because if a Democrat won, well, it must be because of fraud even if we can't find it, well, then there will be a close enough election in…

There are a lot of flag waving Republican leaders out there who are undermining the faith that we all have in fair elections, because their allegiance is first and foremost, to Donald Trump.

Well, they are destroying democracy. They're destroying democracy and I'm not engaging in hyperbole here.

Because you have a majority of Republicans in this country who believe that Joe Biden won the election fraudulently, when there's no evidence that that happens. And that belief as it festers, and it grows, this idea that if Democrats win…

8 years ago this morning, I was in Bridgeport, CT. I had done an event early that morning with the mayor, and I was due to meet my wife and my two children--then 4 years old and 1--on a train platform in Bridgeport to head down to New York…

Right now, the most serious attempt to overthrow our democracy in the history of this country is underway. Those who are pushing to make Donald Trump president for a second term no matter the outcome of the election are engaged in a…

colleagues, we are in the middle of a whole bunch of really important debates right now about the National Defense Authorization Act, trying to avoid a shutdown by the end of the day, and, of course, trying to find a path forward to…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. 2020 Elections

reserving the right to object, this is a substantial proposal, one that merits full consideration on the floor of the Senate with the opportunity to debate and amend to understand how many government agencies would be affected, to…

I am on the floor today to speak to resolutions upon which we will begin voting today regarding arms sales proposed by the administration to the United Arab Emirates. I am on the floor today to ask my colleagues to support these…

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

McConnell is carrying water for the K Street crowd.

the country rejected Donald Trump.

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.

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