I can only think of two times in American history that individuals laid siege to our capital, stormed our sacred civic spaces and tried to over rent on up end and overrun this government, one was in the war of 1812. And the other one was…
It's unprecedented that he's fanning the flames of conspiracy theory to create a smokescreen in this nation, to cover what he is trying to do, which is undermine our Democratic principles.
If he's in charge of the Senate, I have no confidence that he's necessarily going to move quickly to get Biden judges appointed.
The next president of the United States will be Joe Biden. And according to the 12th Amendment and the Electoral Count Act of 1887, there is absolutely no way to prevent that.
I think history is going to look back on this moment and see what we did, how we conducted ourselves.
I think it's damaging to our democracy, and it's only advancing this conspiracy theory
I just want to say I appreciate my friend and my colleague, and truly, when he invoked the spirit of cooperation and the spirit of bipartisanship, I felt lucky that he didn't invoke the spirit of Christmas as well.
It is good to see you in that seat, sir. The post of Ambassador to Pakistan is one that is highly relevant to American national securities, as I think all 100 of us understand. The person selected to implement the U.S. foreign policy and…
I come to the floor today in support of my senior Senator's unanimous consent request to pass the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act. As Senator Menendez pointed out, this is a bipartisan piece of legislation. It is bicameral…
This legislation calls for weekly surveillance testing, expanded contact tracing in prisons, and expanded data collection.
Our democracy is hurting. It really is. It is broken. It is bruised. It is wounded.
If we continue in the way of Donald Trump, we're going to just continue to tear each other down, which is playing into the hands of our adversaries.
This is going to be a challenging time because Donald Trump doesn't have many stages of grief. He just has one right now, which is denial.
Joe Biden won with the most votes in American history. It was a victory for Joe Biden.
This is a President that has so deeply violated human conceptions of decency and grace and honor that he is endangering lives just by his very behavior.
If you cannot see the clear line between grace, decency and generosity, and death -- and survival rather, then you are you're wrong.
The Senate is broken. It's deeply wounded and injured. It's not dead, but it is deeply wounded and injured.
So I appeal, again, one last time to the conscience of the Senate. This is not a time to proceed. This is a time for grace. It is not a time to proceed. It is a time to firm up the foundations of our Republic. It is not a time to proceed…
Thank you, Madam President, my colleague from Iowa. I am grateful. Madam President, I rise today to speak on the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett. I rise in the midst of a pandemic, in the midst of an election process in which over 50…
He's failed time and time again, but he's promised over and over again to tear down the Affordable Care Act.
It's part of the Republican platform to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. They -- President Trump explicitly said that he would not put someone on the court unless they were willing to do the right thing and get rid of the Affordable…
You condemn white supremacy, correct? ... I wish our president would say that so resolutely, unequivocally, as well.
Do you believe that every president should make a commitment, unequivocally and resolutely, to the peaceful transfer of power?
The whole process is broken, especially as Lindsey Graham sits there. And it wasn't that many months ago that he said he would not be doing this, and to use his words against him.
