“My colleagues should take heed of what these groups are saying because they see through the potentially derailing impact of these amendments. I close by again thanking my friend and partner, Senator Portman, as well as Senator McCaskill, Senator Heitkamp, Senator Cornyn, and Senator McCain. This measure is truly bipartisan, as it should be. There is nothing partisan about sex trafficking. There is nothing excusable or tolerable about it. I hope the Senate will do its job tomorrow and send this legislation to the President's desk. I yield the floor to my partner, Senator Portman, with my thanks.”
