I think you can take a look at the arena last night, you can see the empty seats. He is weak. His approval rating has plummeted.

He is losing his grip.

This convention is entirely about a delusional president who just wants to be the center of attention in every setting.

We aren't voting on bills right now that would reduce the sky-high costs of food, fuel, health care, or addressing the President's war in Iran. Instead, we're considering a bill that was deadly and dangerous in the past, in the ‘70s.

I didn't want to fall into the trap of contorting myself in order to support a candidate who had succeeded in a primary.

I said in my mind he had disqualified himself in at least two ways. One was the choice to have a Nazi emblem tattooed to his body. And the other was, of course, the credible allegations of his abuse of women.

That's not the kind of person we want as a senator.

I’m relieved. I'm sure Mainers are relieved. He disqualified himself.

He has disqualified himself in my eyes. He is not qualified to be a representative, a senator.

I think it’s so distressing all of the stories that are coming out, and they’re more and more it seems by the hour.

It’s about shutting down media.

I feel like I am suffering through a propaganda war through your testimony.

This is so discourteous. This is so outside the committee’s guidelines. Taking a personal shot at me while swiping at Biden. Very strange and very unprofessional of you.

Did you hear my question?

This is not normal. I don’t want anybody to think that what is going on here is actually normal.

What you do want is an educated electorate. Not if you’re Donald Trump and his cult-like members. They want citizens who are not educated.

I firmly believe we must ensure that people have access to reliable fact-based information.
