"Inaction is not an option. Congress must come together -- just as we have done time and again -- to reaffirm our longstanding bipartisan commitment to free, accessible and secure elections for all."

"If we are ever going to do it, we should do it now, since it is all very fresh in what we have been able to endure."

"I remain concerned that the payments are not getting to those who need it the most."

"That's why it is imperative that we ensure that money gets to the children or their real caretakers in these households."
