Before I begin my remarks, I see my dear friend, the President, sitting there--the Senator from Nevada--and I am just thinking, last night, as we watched Harry Reid leave the Senate for the final time: Harry, we miss you, but we know you…

Make no mistake, the United States Senate will, for the first time this Congress, debate voting rights legislation beginning on Tuesday.

We`re having a lot of serious, long and intense meetings with Senators Manchin and Sinema. We are trying to come to a place, we`re not there yet, I wouldn`t want to delude anybody to think that this is easy, but we`re trying to come to a…

It is my honor to introduce a proud New Yorker, a dear and longtime friend--we have known each other for 30 years--and fellow Brooklynite, Nick Perry, to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to Jamaica.

Nick is an immigrant, he is a veteran, and a longtime public servant, and he represents the best of what America is all about.

The fidelity to election, the fidelity to democracy, is no longer there.
