  1. Tomorrow, the Senate will put a stop to this reckless and partisan abuse of power by the House majority. I urge every one of my colleagues to cast the vote that the facts in evidence, the Constitution, & the common good clearly require. Vote to acquit the President.

  2. Washington Democrats’ position on President Trump has been obvious for three years: They believe he committed a “high crime [or] misdemeanor” the moment he defeated Secretary Clinton in the 2016 election. That is the original sin of this presidency: That he won and they lost.

  3. The Framers knew that overheated House majorities might impeach on purely partisan grounds. But they knew that short-term passions could not get the final say. So they placed the ultimate judgment not in the fractious lower chamber, but in the sober and stable Senate.

  4. It was great to meet and thank Kentuckians who traveled to Washington for the March for Life. Washington needs your example and your advocacy more than ever. Thank you for your moral courage. My full statement:

  5. There were good reasons why all 100 senators agreed two decades ago that the Senate should not cross these bridges before we came to them. We will not let the architects of the unfair House process convince the Senate to rewrite our rules just for President Trump.

  6. The way the Senate decides to handle mid-trial questions such as witnesses could have institutional consequences that go far beyond this trial and this presidency. We are not going to rush into these questions without even hearing opening arguments.

  7. It will be telling if the House managers try to get the Senate to pre-commit ourselves to supplementing the investigation they themselves oversaw and decided to shut down. Just last week, they said their case as it already exists is “overwhelming” and “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

  8. In 1999, the Senate unanimously agreed on a basic trial structure that was fair to all parties. Today, we must rise to the occasion and preserve that bipartisan precedent. Our resolution sets up the same basic steps. Fair is fair.

  9. Today we celebrate the life and legacy of one of America’s greatest heroes. Dr. King’s strength and heroism made our country stronger and more just. By sharing his dream, he awoke a nation.

  10. ‘This body, this chamber, exists precisely so that we can look past daily dramas and understand how our actions will reverberate for generations. The House’s hour is over. The Senate’s time is at hand. It is time for this proud body to honor our founding purpose.’

  11. BREAKING: The Senate just passed the USMCA. Next stop: ’s desk for his signature. I’m grateful to the President for prioritizing this deal and delivering on this major promise. It’s a big win for Kentucky and for American families in all 50 states.

  12. Yesterday, the Speaker celebrated impeachment with souvenir pens, bearing her own golden signature, brought in on silver platters. The House’s partisan process distilled into one last perfect visual. Not solemn or serious. A transparently political exercise from beginning to end.

  13. It’s clear Democrats see impeachment as one big political game. Sen. Schumer told reporters that as long as the process hurts Republicans, “it’s a win-win.” The country deserves better. We’re overdue for some seriousness and sober judgment. That is what the Senate will bring.

  14. We’ve reached a simple contradiction. The House case cannot be so robust that it was enough to rush into impeachment, and enough for Senate Democrats to start pre-judging guilt, but also so weak that they need the Senate to go fishing. These two stories cannot both be true.

  15. First, Democrats spent weeks saying the House case was totally convincing. Now, the opposite: They say the House case is so thin that if the Senate judges what the House actually voted on, it's a “cover-up." Their own investigation was so shallow that it now equals a “cover-up”?

  16. If House Democrats were confident their own investigation was persuasive, they would not be so desperate to get the Senate to reopen it. The House has signaled they're afraid for the Senate to judge the case they will actually send us. The case they voted for.

  17. I’m glad the Speaker may finally be realizing she never had any “leverage” to dictate Senate procedure to Senators. The Senate was never going to pre-commit ourselves to redoing the prosecutors’ homework for them.

  18. Today is and I wanted to take a moment and honor all law enforcement officers, especially our Kentuckians in uniform and their families. Thank you for your service.

  19. I agree with : The United States does not seek conflict but is prepared to protect American lives and interests. Iran should not question our collective will by launching further attacks. My full remarks:

  20. It’s almost as though this House Democrat majority systematically took all of the framers’ warnings about partisan abuses of the impeachment power & thought, “sure, let’s do that.” The American people deserve better.
