Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I want to offer my warmest congratulations to President Trump and Vice President Vance. There is a sense of optimism today in Washington as we turn the page on the past 4 years, and I am looking forward to working with President Trump and Vice President Vance in the coming months and years to build a bright new future for our country. Our priority here in the Senate for the next few weeks is getting President Trump's nominees confirmed so that he has the team that he needs in place to deliver. We have already been hard at work on that. Last week, Senate committees held hearings on 12 nominees. On Wednesday, we held hearings on a total of six Cabinet nominees--the most Cabinet confirmation hearings in a single day since 2001. I am hoping to begin floor votes imminently. I am excited to vote to confirm a longtime colleague, Senator Marco Rubio, as Secretary of State this week as well as former Congressman and Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe as head of the CIA. Both of these men will bring a renewed focus to restoring American strength, knowing that the surest guarantee of peace here at home and in other regions of the globe as well is a strong and prepared America. More confirmation votes will follow, and I will work to have the President's Cabinet in place in the very near future.…”
