Congratulations to Congressman Ferraro on his election as Leader of House Republicans.
I happily extend a hand of partnership on behalf of Senate Republicans.
The opening of the 116th Congress was a tremendous success! I offer my congratulations to the new members, and I extend a warm welcome to my returning friends and colleagues.
Let's make this a productive session!
@NilesGApol You know it wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened. Nixon was the only living former President until Ford left office. Even then he would’ve been the only former living President had he not resigned and watergate not going down
@Dennis3335R@J_Schiavo@GOP Actually under current law the governor is required to select from a list of three candidates who belong to the same party as the outgoing Senator.
But I think that the general assembly has changed the law to trigger a special election immediately instead of an appointment
I understand the frustrations with the confirmation process being delayed. All I ask for is some patience as this new Senate works to get our bearings.
When you decide to quit on the American people, you shouldn't get to come back to the job you abandoned without going through the confirmation process again!
You owe it to the people to explain why you jumped ship and decided you want to come back.
Where is ICE? Where is DHS? Countless migrants are pouring into our country and we're just letting them?!
I say HELL NO. Close the border and send them back home.
If the Senator-elect from Florida is unwilling to take the oath; it is incumbent upon her to ensure that the her fellow Floridians have representation in someone else who is able and willing!
Decline the seat and entrust it to another Floridian who will actually want the honor.
Senate Republicans have failed. They need to reorganize and get their act together.
I will not be providing any funding to their pacs or campaigns until they can fix the mess they have created.
@ElaineLuria So she doesn’t have to say anything racist, but suddenly she’s racist? However, Biden could and would openly say something racist and there weren’t any problems with that?
