Political Quotes

“Democrats have spent virtually every minute of the last 30 hours sounding the alarm about the dangers of Russell Vought. We feel it a mission to let America know that Russell Vought is a threat to Social Security, to Medicare, to childcare, to veterans' benefits, and so much more. He is the wrong man--he seems to care little about the needs of American families; at the wrong place--at powerful OMB, where his decisions will be felt in every corner of the country; with the wrong agenda--the horrible Project 2025. There are three strikes against Russell Vought, and he should be out. He is the wrong man at the wrong place with the wrong agenda. Mr. Vought's policies will hurt children and seniors, hurt veterans, hurt homeowners, and so many of our other friends and neighbors. The only people who should celebrate Russell Vought are Donald Trump's billionaire friends when they get another tax break. I caution my Republican colleagues: Voting to place the chief architect of Project 2025 in charge of White House policy will come back to haunt them. If the chaos of the last 2 weeks is any indication of what is to come, Russell Vought will be a massive liability for Donald Trump, for Republicans, and worst of all, for the country. Tonight, I will vote no fervently, strongly, with complete conviction, and urge my colleagues to do the same. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader.”
