Political Quotes

“Now, Madam President, on the subject of our business here on the floor, the Senate has had a very productive week. We began the week by passing landmark, bipartisan legislation to supercharge American innovation and lay the groundwork for another century of American leadership on the world stage. It passed with nearly 70 votes--an overwhelming and rare display of bipartisan support. As I mentioned yesterday, we are going to work with Speaker Pelosi and the relevant committee chairs in the House to move this bill forward as quickly as possible. It is vital to our Nation's future that the House and Senate must come together to send President Biden a bill that he can sign into law. The Senate also confirmed the first judicial appointments of President Biden's tenure--two district court judges--and we will confirm a third today, the first Muslim American to serve as an article III judge in our history. On Monday, the Senate will confirm President Biden's first circuit court nominee, the amazing Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, and next week, this Chamber will take up additional, highly qualified nominees to the executive branch, including Lina Khan for the Federal Trade Commission and several others. The Senate Democratic majority will move swiftly to perform our constitutional duty to advise and consent on the President's nominees. ____________________”
