The president and his team and their resources need to be brought to bear on Texas because it’s not one that we can lose if we’re going to hang on to a Republican majority.

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent when the Senate adjourns on Thursday, Sept. 10, it stand adjourned until 3 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 14.
