the only reason that this is a competitive race is that the GOP nominated Donald Trump again.

Yes, we're a nation of immigrants, but we're also a nation of laws.

It's not the same thing. It's a former president facing nearly 100 felony charges, and the other is the son of the president. It's very, very different.

I think McConnell is torn between politics and history.

Biden's got to make the case every day against Trump, almost as though he's more of a challenger than the incumbent.

He is still the leader of the Republican Party. Even the candidates who is not endorsed, those who he had snubbed, they`re still kissing up to him. They`re still mentioning his name in their speeches and their TV ads. They want his…

In our government, the president is not only the head of state, commander in chief, he's the leader of his or her party. Joe Biden is the leader of the Democratic Party.

It`s absolutely unbelievable to me that our governor completely abdicated his responsibility to lead throughout this pandemic.

Without strong standards the consumers won't see the benefits of improved efficiency and will remain vulnerable the next time oil prices go up.

They may have a preference not to invest in new technology and to keep selling the technology they have, but this will leave them vulnerable to oil price changes in the future.

That is a very real risk. And I think what we saw before was that American automakers become less competitive when they allow their fleets to stagnate and don't invest in improving efficiency and reducing oil use.

First and foremost, I am not overly fond of the term 'functional zero,' because when you look at our veteran population, those that are not VA eligible, a vast majority of those, over--almost 70 percent are over the age of 50.

The inspector general's report said that 100 percent of conservative groups were targeted.

We can't fill these cracks in the foundation by adding more rules to the 67,000 pages of oppressive tax code.

Free people shouldn't fear a politicized bureaucracy that delves into social media and communications to determine what they have said, whom they have heard speak, and what they think about their Government.

A Government of the people, by the people, and for the people is supposed to trust the people and the people should be able to trust our Government.

I think that the proposal for reductions in emissions, air toxins from power plants, will have a significant effect on the burden both near the sites and long-distance from mercury and other toxics that are emitted from coal-fired power…

We are concerned that S. 540 would threaten the preeminence of our health care system by needlessly subjecting medical device manufacturers to a flood of costly, burdensome and meritless lawsuits without providing any real safety benefits…

If S. 540 is enacted, juries will decide which innovative medical devices should be available on the market--instead of leaving that decision to the medical experts at the FDA.

By encouraging lawsuits against FDA-approved medical devices, S. 540 would discourage companies from investing in innovative devices that are critically needed by senior citizens and other Americans.

Put simply: this legislation would slow the pace of medical breakthroughs that not only save lives, but also improve the quality of life for our aging population.

This outcome would be devastating for many senior citizens who rely on cutting-edge medical devices and technologies.
