In general, I don’t think the House is going to love this version compared to what we passed, but at some point we’ll figure out a way to get to yes, collectively.

Well, everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. I've certainly rolled out a number of plans that would have some pretty substantial reforms to our entitlement programs.

Well, I think an absolute onslaught of negative ads the last three or four weeks against me, they really worked. Told people I was a career politician, that I was a RINO, that I was a liberal, and we saw in the polling that that was…

I think the biggest mistake is that we're basically sleepwalking through this competition. I mean, every day the leaders of China get up, and they try to figure out how to beat America, how to destabilize our country, how to get an…

I don't really know yet, but I do know that I'm surely not ready to retire. I'm 50, but I feel like a real young 50, and I'm still filled with plenty of piss and vinegar. Let's go get it done.

While I am disappointed in the outcome, I am committed to helping Republican candidates get elected in November.

Our caucus hates [fiscal] cliffs, we hate dumpster fires, we hate chaos.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to represent South Dakota in Congress these past eight years.

I would say that Congress has 99 problems, but Mike Johnson is not one of them

We need more happy warriors

They heard from President Trump over and over again how much good was in this bill.

I am proud to announce that I am running for Governor of South Dakota. It's time to dream big, to grow, to build, to believe in a bright future for South Dakota.

We have challenges, but our state has the foundation, the work ethic and the values we need to become even better.
