Political Quotes

“Madam President, let me close very quickly. The fact is, we can bring about the bipartisanship that many of my Republican colleagues have been talking about over the last 4\1/2\ hours. It is doable. It is possible to do it in a way that builds on a practical gold standard for informed voting used in Oregon, used in bright-red Utah, and it is what we had until 2020, when Donald Trump tried to preempt the progress we were making because, in every rally, he would talk about all this fraud, for example. Fraud, Madam President--the last analysis of fraud in Oregon is 0.00001 percent of all votes cast. So we can get back to what the Republicans have been talking about over the last 4\1/2\ hours, but the way you are going to have to do it is they are going to have to go to Donald Trump and tell him: Look, we just don't agree with you on this. And that is the kind of leadership that we need. We saw it in Oregon. We saw it in Utah. We have seen it now from sea to shining sea. That is what it is going to take. I want my Republican colleagues to know that we will meet them more than half way, but they are going to have to start taking on Donald Trump's lies on these issues if we are going to have that bipartisanship that my colleagues have been talking about this morning. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Rhode Island.”
