We think the United States has to work with our partners in South America to make it clear that that was not an election where Maduro won.

I think it is absolutely essential that we be very clear that Maduro was not elected as president of Venezuela.

I support that, but whether we will ever get to that point, my concern is it is going to be years down the road, and we are going to have another Moldova and another Georgia.

We need to incentivize diversity initiatives and modernize the training and professional developments for our diplomats to deal with the 21st century challenges.

Knowing where our North Star is matters.

The Department of State and the work of our diplomats do every day has never been more important.

That transatlantic partnership that was restored by the Biden administration was absolutely essential.

The only way there is going to be lasting peace in the Middle East is if there is a genuine path forward for the Palestinians and Israelis to live side by side in peace.

To be true to our founding principles we need to support those people trying to defend human rights, those rights endowed to us by our Creator.

I often speak about the importance of adhering to our values and our foreign policy.

This country was founded on a unique basis in the words of our Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal.
