I'm not running for president.

I will work with anyone. But I will bow down to no one.

Now that it is essentially 99% contained, I love the fact that the president of the United States is finally realizing that this was his job, and he hasn't been doing it for the past month.

I know this is breaking news to everyone, but the president is not telling the truth.

I definitely think that the former president did not have this right.

It's just harder to get by. And frankly, it's not fair.

Debate it. Discuss it. And do your democratic duty to vote. No matter how the vote goes, I'm good, because that's democracy.

But no state can fill the enormous gap created by Donald Trump and his administration

I'm not sure why we should be playing by a different set of rules than Texas, or than Florida, or than Ohio or all these other places.

There is a chaos, and it is an intentional chaos, that we are seeing from this administration.

This is simply about making sure that we can have fair and representative maps and we can go through our process.

If other states are going to have this process and go through this – go through this journey of identifying whether or not they have fair maps in a mid-decade cycle, then so should Maryland.

There is no pain that is worth it. Our people are hurting, and they're hurting because of these games that we continue to see from Washington, DC.

Once we decided to step up and say we are going to make sure that our people are going to be OK … we’ve now received guidance saying the states are going to be punished for fronting the money.

This is just simply about making sure that we can have fair and representative maps and we can go through our process.

I would tell them that we need to ensure that reopening the government does not mean kicking my people off of health care.

I want the government reopened now.

We are watching the president who is literally breaking the law so people can starve, but we're not going to sit there and tolerate in our state.

I'm not going to allow Donald Trump to determine whether or not Maryland follows this idea of saying, are we going to do everything we can to make sure we're preserving our democracy.

Where we differ is the urgency that this moment requires, the fight that this moment requires.

That's not the way this process is going to work.

Fighting for democracy is never risky.

There is a chaos and it is an intentional chaos that we are seeing from this administration and where they have money for everything.

My job is to make sure that I'm protecting the democratic process.

I think fighting for democracy is never risky.
