Tim Kaine

Our only guarantee that we can sweep him and all like him out of office is the biggest margin possible.

reserving the right to object. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Virginia.

I rise to support the efforts of my colleagues to bring the unanimous House bill establishing legal procedures for dealing with White supremacy to the floor of the Senate. I do so in honor of four Virginians. In August of 2017, a group…

I want to rise just briefly to pay tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I saw a statement about her in the aftermath of her passing that said she will probably go down in history as one of the greatest women lawyers in the history of the United…

How can we trust a White House to do a fair assessment of the science and a fair distribution plan when they've been lying to the American public?

in 2015, when I heard then-candidate Donald Trump denigrate the service of my friend, the late Senator John McCain, suggesting that he was a loser and that his status as a POW was somehow cause for shame or embarrassment, I was rock-solid…

The death toll is unacceptably high and the economic devastation is unacceptably high.

But what we learned today is that he actually understood how bad it was going to be and decided to see if he could lie his way out of it.

I saw a president lie our way into an unnecessary war with Iraq that did so much damage to our own troops, but also to peace in the Middle East, security instability in the Middle East.

We just got to keep the spotlight on the testing gap and try to get it up with funding.

What we now know is that it was lying.

Well, Chris, I think we already knew this is probably one of the greatest domestic political failures in the history of the United States, the mishandling of COVID that has led the U.S. to have such a unprecedentedly high death toll…

January 24th was the first briefing we had. And we had members in that briefing who then went out and said, the Trump team is doing great, but then they sold stocks.

I know it a would-be dictator when I see one. A would-be dictator is somebody who thinks there are no rules that apply in Donald Trump's case, to him, and he will do anything to win.

This is a guy who will do anything to win. And we have to make it as clear as day on Election Day, including early vote beginning in Virginia on the 18th of September -- some states are even earlier -- we got to make it as clear as can be…

I am absolutely thrilled. The civil rights lawyer in me who has tried to help minorities and women break ceilings is thrilled. I'm so psyched that she's on the ticket.

We're in for the fight of our lives to save our country. And we have to be at our very best right now.

here we go again. Another day has passed. Nothing has happened--no incremental progress, no compromise. To some it might just be one day, but for too many Americans, another day fighting for your health or how you will pay your rent or how…

returning to the latest coronavirus emergency aid package--currently, the package doesn't exist. There have been no bipartisan negotiations on it since last Friday. That is disappointing to all of us who are here, ready and willing to…

I rise today to speak about the latest coronavirus emergency aid package, but before I do, as a matter of personal privilege, I want to offer some comments in praise of a colleague. Just as we gather together, regardless of party, to mourn…

This is, you know, most historic time, what Joe Biden brings. And the reason he's doing well I think in polling right now, he brings character and compassion but also competence. And by picking Kamala, he's underlying those character…

This is an administration that can't win by telling the truth, so they're going to try to win by not telling the truth. We're living in a pandemic where more than 160,000 Americans have died, so many of them, tens of thousands needlessly…

The best-prepared nation in the world handled it in one of the worst aspects of the world because we have a president who said it wasn't a problem, said it was going to go away, you know, preached quack medicine, undercut his own experts…

today I am introducing a bipartisan bill to make the process of siting natural gas pipelines fairer, more transparent, and more responsive to landowner concerns. For some time now, I have been listening to Virginians with passionate views…

communities of color and those living in rural and underserved area face significant barriers to healthcare, including physician shortages. Unfortunately, in many communities of color and rural areas, there are few pathways to enter the…
