I think the files should be released, let the light of day, let the sun shine through, and that’s the best way to get past it

Release the damn files

Just release the damn files.

It’s a great test case, and that’s why I’m inclined to support it.

I look forward to having the pure freedom to call the balls and strikes as I see fit and representing the great people of North Carolina to the best of my ability.

I don’t have a problem with President Trump. I got a problem with some of the people I consider to be amateurs, advising him.

I have said, look, we could have probably taken ten days and fixed this bill.

I don’t feel like what we passed out last week had any semblance of good governance.

I don’t have a problem [with] President Trump… I got a problem with some of the people I consider to be amateurs, advising him.

I would certainly vote for him again, however, if all I had was the information I had going into the vote in January.

I would not based on the information I have today.

I don’t regret my vote to confirm Hegseth based on the facts as I knew them then.

I got a problem with some of the people I consider to be amateurs advising him.

I don’t have a problem with President Trump.

I think based on the information I have today, if all I had was the information on the day of the vote, I’d certainly vote for him again.

I was so focused on Medicaid, I wasn’t looking for other reasons to be against the bill. But that would be another one.

What this bill does is sort of, kind of blow apart the systems that states have set up to establish their healthcare programs.

Cuts to Medicaid are inescapable.

In Washington over the last few years, it’s become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species.

The people in the White House advising the president … are not telling him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise.

Alright, so what do I tell 663,000 people in two years or three years, when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding’s not there anymore, guys?

Between the state-directed payments and the cuts scheduled in this bill—there’s a reduction of state-directed payments.

Make sure that we do not break the promise of Donald J. Trump that he’s made to the people on Medicaid.

It is inescapable that this bill, in its current form, will betray the very promise that Donald J. Trump made in the Oval Office or in the Cabinet Room.

Republicans are about to make a mistake on health care and betraying a promise.
