Raphael Warnock

I rise today in the wake of the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe unfolding before our eyes in Gaza. As we say in my church's preaching tradition, ``Let me make it plain!'' It is wrong to starve children to death. It is wrong to starve…

That’s above my pay grade.

Those 42,000 Georgia jobs and hundreds of thousands of jobs nationwide are at risk. That is why North America's building trade unions call this bill the biggest job-killing bill in the history of this country. I urge my colleagues to vote…

I rise to protect pro-business, pro- worker tax credits that are creating hundreds of thousands of American clean energy manufacturing jobs, many of which don't require a college degree. Put simply, these tax credits are working. I know…

I rise tonight in our moral moment in our Nation. As we debate this bill, so much is on the line. The healthcare of over 16 million Americans--750,000 of them Georgians--is on the line. Food for hungry children in a wealthy nation, where…

We clearly need some kind of regulatory structure.

I think there’s too much money in our system whether you’re talking about oil and gas or the gun industry, it’s a serious democracy problem.

This work reporting requirement is very good at kicking people off of their health care.

They’re going to throw poor people away.

The people of Georgia hired me to stand up for them. And this really is a critical week.

I believe in work. And I recently released a study in Georgia that shows that this work reporting requirement... is very good at kicking people off of their health care.

I’m confident that as Whip, he will continue his work unifying our caucus and advancing our shared priorities.

How much time do I have remaining? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Georgia has 4 seconds.

--without kicking a single person off of Medicaid, he should vote for my amendment. Vote on Amendment No. 2177 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question occurs on adoption of the amendment.

I noticed that my colleague from Idaho did not say that they would not cut coverage. If the Senator believes that they can do this-- The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired.

I call up my amendment No. 2177 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Georgia [Mr. Warnock], for himself and others, proposes an…

I know that we say this a lot around here, but I really rise to offer a very simple amendment: no cuts in Medicaid benefits; no cuts in Medicaid coverage. My colleagues have claimed that their proposal to cut up to $880 billion from…

I rise tonight in strong opposition to this awful, and, frankly, immoral budget. Recently, I was appointed to the Finance Committee of the U.S. Senate, and the reason why I wanted to serve on that committee is because I wanted to get a…

And there are a lot of folks who, because so much of what has been going on in our Nation across Republican and Democratic administrations--let's be honest--has not been working for ordinary people. And the gap between the haves and the…

Good morning, and let me just say, Cory Booker, how very, very proud I am of you. It is a real honor to serve in this body. I know that all of my colleagues who are here agree that it is an honor for the people of your State to say that…

They are not impressed. But we know that this would impact thousands of Georgians who have only recently been able to receive healthcare. We passed in that American Rescue Plan these tax credits, which put healthcare in reach, and now they…

In the first few months of the Trump administration, it has been clear that this administration is not working for--

Good trouble. We had a 1960 sit-in in the Governor's office. Waves of us got arrested. They arrested one wave. Then another wave came, and another wave came. We were trying to get Georgia to expand Medicaid.

It is a long chapter, but in the section we are talking about, in Matthew 25, Jesus says: I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was sick.

``The most shocking and most inhumane.'' It is the reason why, as a pastor, inspired by Dr. King, leading the congregation that Dr. King led--way back in 2014, when the Affordable Care Act was passed, were you here? You came after.
