"President Biden could not have chosen a finer nominee."

"I never thought I would see a day like that, a violent mob driven by the rhetoric and the lives of a disgraceful former President of the United States."

"Their sacrifices should not be papered over by those who want to pretend nothing happened."

"I hope that we can all come together, both parties, to get appropriations bills through this year."
