Voter fraud is real, and it can sway elections.

Rooting out voter fraud is important.

In-person voting is not only safe, it's also the most secure way to vote.

However people are going to vote, we all should be encouraging people to exercise the right to vote.

They want to mandate ballots be mailed to all registered voters during this emergency. That, as I outlined, is dangerous.

I believe this would pass with overwhelming support in the House and the Senate, and I would encourage the House to move forward with that.

A party that wants to burn down the foundations of our country to the ground.

The opioid problems, the suicide problems are exacerbated by kids staying at home.

You can do it; in fact, you need to do it. But to say you can't do it is a cop-out.

Thank God President Trump keeps his focus on carrying out this plan every day while people are literally trying to disagree with it and then deny it exists at the same time.

You are on the front lines, as well as the teams that are behind you, working to implement President Trump's plan

Part of this plan included stopping flights to China, which, as Dr. Fauci testified under oath, saved lives
