Mr. Kennedy failed to prove he is the best possible person to lead America's largest health agency.

In my lifetime, I’ve watched vaccines save millions of lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world.

I will not condone the re-litigation of proven cures, and neither will millions of Americans who credit their survival and quality of life to scientific miracles.

Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed—they're dangerous.

The Senate’s power of advice and consent is not an option; it is an obligation, and one we cannot pretend to misunderstand.

I hope she rises to the immense responsibilities of her office.

In my assessment, Tulsi Gabbard failed to demonstrate that she is prepared to assume this tremendous national trust.

Russia's escalation of its unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine threatens American interests and is solely the responsibility of Vladimir Putin.

Japan is among America's closest treaty allies in the Indo-Pacific, and the risk of conflict in the region is the product of Chinese aggression, not western 'threat inflation'.

The nation should not have to worry that the intelligence assessments the President receives are tainted by a Director of National Intelligence with a history of alarming lapses in judgment.

In my assessment, Tulsi Gabbard failed to demonstrate that she is prepared to assume this tremendous national trust.
