I think mail-in ballots give a better opportunity for everybody to vote.

I think mail-in -- first of all the governor has done a great job, and I think the counties have done a marvelous job in adopting the mail-in voting models.

I think it's really, really important, because Democrats line up with rural America much better than Republicans do.

If you can bring people together, which is something this president has never done, by the way, but if you can bring people together and unite them, get them at the table and talk about solutions, you'll find out in short order, they have…

I think Steve Bullock is going to do very, very well in this election.

Look, the list is long. And I think that the values of the Democratic Party line up well with people in rural America but we've got to talk about those values.

The other thing is Democrats need to talk about what we stand for. Affordable, accessible health care; making sure we have quality public education; making sure that Medicare and Social Security is going to be around; making sure that we…

May I ask the Senator from Delaware a question? Did that young man lose his life in battle?

We need to make sure we save our post office and a lot of other things in this country that are being blown up by the president.

The fact is what this postmaster general is doing, who by the way has no business being postmaster general, is ridiculous. It's ridiculous, just trying to destroy part of the lifeblood of this great country.

He doesn't want the Postal Service to be what it's been throughout this country's history, and because of the election. He doesn't want everybody to have their votes counted.

Mitch McConnell has been walking hand in hand with Donald Trump. And make no mistake about it, the postmaster general is taking his orders from the president of the United States.

The Postal Service is so critically important to all of America but particularly to rural America. I don't know what the Postal Service is doing. Their actions raise more questions than they answer.

The Trump administration is taking away all these mailboxes in Montana.

Before I get into my comments on Agent Orange, I just want to thank Senator Moran and Senator Blumenthal for leading the charge on making sure that our Olympic athletes are protected. There are some who say that government has no business…

I thank the chairman of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs for his good work. Jim Byrne is the right man for the job. We passed the VA MISSION Act that needs to be implemented. I know Mr. Byrne has ruffled feathers among some here. In the…

I think that might have been a hint to make it quick. Is that right, Senator Udall?

The President's budget proposal will force kids in rural America to go hungry while wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on misplaced priorities like a wall that won't keep us safe.

It's wrong to put the debt from the VA's accounting mistakes on the shoulders of men and women who have served their country.

Before I start with my comments, I want to associate my thoughts and views on Mr. Miller with Ranking Member Udall's points on Native American sovereignty and Mr. Miller's current job and what he has done in that.

This is what happens when people try and privatize the VA.

I am going to tell you that a lot of VSOs have talked to me about the communication within the VA. It is not where it needs to be.

So do we have a plan? Because the truth is the MISSION Act, we passed it with the best of intentions, but it could be a train wreck too.

If access standard models are expanded to the point... we got a big problem.

I have a huge problem with that. Do you have a problem with that?
