No House seats. No office in this land is more important than the principles that we are all sworn to protect. I will do whatever it takes to ensure Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office. And I mean it. I love what our…
I think the Republican party today is, is in very bad shape. And I think that we have a tremendous amount of work to do, I think it could take several election cycles. But the country has got to have a Republican Party that's actually…
No House seat, no office in this land is more important than the principles that we are all sworn to protect.
That's a decision that I'm going to make in the coming months, Savannah. I'm not going to make any announcements here this morning, but it is something that I am thinking about, and I'll make a decision in the coming months.
I have said since January 6 that I will do whatever it takes to ensure Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office and I mean it.
We`re facing very challenging and difficult times. We`re facing a moment where our democracy really is under attack and under threat.
America cannot remain free if we abandon the truth. The lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen is insidious. This is Donald Trump`s legacy, but it cannot be the future of our nation. History has shown us over and over again how…
No matter what the outcome is, it is certainly the beginning of a battle that is going to continue, it is going to go on.
She's trying to frame this as the start of something, not the end of something should she fall short here.
Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.
Today, no matter what the outcome is, this is certainly the beginning of a battle that is going to continue, is going to go on. And, as a country, we`re facing very challenging and difficult times. We`re facing a moment where our democracy…
In our country, we don't swear an oath to an individual or a political party. We take our oath to defend the United States Constitution.
But we are now embracing a cult of personality and I won't -- I won't be part of that and I will always stand for my oath and stand for the truth.

Allies that I have talked to have said that she`s looking to ultimately, whether she`s in office or not, mount an effort and -- quote -- 'do whatever it takes' to keep Donald Trump from getting back into the White House.
And on January 6th, Donald Trump turned their love of country into a weapon against our Capitol and our Constitution.
Because Republicans cannot both be loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution.
They really hope she will take this as a national message, a national campaign against Donald Trump.
she is expected to have won, win or lose tonight, and today we got some hints about what she thinks that future might be.
He is preying on their patriotism. He is preying on their sense of justice.
We`re confronting a domestic threat that we have never faced before, and that is a former president who is attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional republic.
There are politicians in this country, beginning with Donald Trump, who have lied to the American people. And people have been betrayed.
We`re facing a moment where our democracy really is under attack and under threat.
