Since President Biden took office, we have gained three million jobs, more than any-- more than in the first 5 months of any presidency in modern history.

Our economy looks a whole lot better today than it did last year. We still have a long way to go.

Today, our economy is growing because of the American Rescue Plan and the Biden-Harris administration's leadership.

I kind of laughed at one point, because I said, this is going to become so popular, within a couple years, all the Republicans who voted against are just going to say it was their idea.

I just hope people turn out large numbers, because the winner of these two primaries are probably going -- each winner is probably going to be the mayor for a long time and the congressperson for a long time.

In the end, voters are going to say, they`re all talking about the past in Trump. We`re talking about future.

This election really mattered. That`s why we`re going to win the midterms next year. But forget about that. We`re going to make -- we`re going to -- we`re going to show people that government can be on their side and government works, and…

This is going to become so popular, within a couple years, all the Republicans who voted against are just going to say it was their idea.

I have not done anything in my long public career -- and you used to live in my state -- you know it`s been long, Jason. I have not done anything that has the magnitude and the importance of this.

I want to work with them to make sure investments in R&D and manufacturing, and clean energy in particular, translate into good-paying union jobs.

President Biden puts labor at the center, workers at the center of all of his policies.

This administration has a different approach.

Ohio workers have paid the price, as you know, Dr. Spriggs, for previous administrations' policies that have eroded our manufacturing industrial base.

I have never seen a VA Secretary as responsive as you.

It is not an inpatient hospital, which means veterans have to rely on local hospitals for inpatient care.

Stable housing is essential in protecting people from trafficking and helping them recover from it.

Inspired in no small part by that book, Senators Bennet and Portman have reintroduced the Eviction Crisis Act, which I'm also proud to cosponsor.

I also have a bill, the Trafficking Survivors Housing Act of 2021, with my friends Senators Blunt and Durbin to identify ways to help survivors of human trafficking find safe housing.

Housing is the gateway to opportunity, and to building a middle class life--and how too many families are locked out of it.

Anything that reduces evictions helps to reduce homelessness.

This Committee, the Banking and Housing Committee, will focus on housing, perhaps more than the Committee ever has.

Senators Brown and Blunt have proposed the Trafficking Survivors Housing Act of 2021.

We are also grateful to Senator Reed for his bill that would permanently authorize USICH.

It's one of the reasons I joined Senators Casey and Collins to introduce the Grandfamily Housing Act, to help grandparents who are caring for their grandchildren find the housing and support they need.

These aren't isolated problems. Homeowners and renters, people working minimum wage or making a steady salary--they're all struggling to find an affordable place to live.
