Ohio

“

Ohio, you've made your voice heard. Tonight is just the beginning. We're going to run this state like a business, cut the waste, and deliver results for hardworking Ohioans — not for the consultants and the career politicians.

“

I've never stopped fighting for Ohio workers and I'm not going to stop now. Ohioans are hurting — from the cost of living to trade policy that ships jobs overseas — and they deserve a senator who actually shows up for them.

“

Ohioans deserve a governor who leads with integrity and puts people first. We have real work to do — on health care, on education, on making sure every family in this state can afford to stay here. I'm ready for this fight.

“

The Republican Party is united heading into the fall. We have a strong record to run on and Ohioans know that the policies coming out of Washington are working — on border security, on the economy, on keeping America safe.

In a joint statement, the Congressional Ukraine Caucus co-chairs said: 'Ukraine has extended an olive branch: an immediate, temporary ceasefire grounded in the protection of human life and the pursuit of a just peace. In the face of Russia's continued aggression, this proposal reflects the moral clarity of a free people: willing to seek peace, unwilling to surrender sovereignty, and determined to defend the dignity of their nation. We stand united—Democrats and Republicans—in support of Ukraine's sovereignty, in defense of international law, and in recognition of the immense sacrifices already made by the Ukrainian people.'

The extensive set of 2024 reforms to Section 702 have worked, sharply reducing past FBI abuses.

“

Reauthorizing FISA Section 702 without reforms to protect privacy would be a major disservice to the American people. Promises made must be kept! I was encouraged by discussions tonight, but after a weak path through Rules Committee we shall see…

“

I'm sad that Viktor Orbán lost. He is a great guy who has done a very good job for the people of Hungary. But the Hungarian people have spoken, and we respect democratic results.

“

We leave here with a very simple proposal: a method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We'll see if the Iranians accept it. After 21 hours of negotiations, they refused to accept American terms to not develop a nuclear weapon.

“

We need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon. After 21 hours of negotiations, the Iranians refused to accept American terms. We remain willing to negotiate, but the terms have to be acceptable.

“

This is a fragile truce. The work of the next two weeks will determine whether we can build a lasting agreement or whether we return to the situation we were in twenty-four hours ago. The president has made his position clear: no enrichment, full reopening of the Strait, and verifiable commitments.

“

The United States never once said Lebanon was part of the ceasefire. We never made that promise. Iran's foreign minister has been responding well to the ceasefire, but others in the country have been lying about the agreement. This is why I say this is a fragile truce. If Iran wants this to fall apart over Lebanon, that's on them.

“

The president of the United States is a man who recognizes leverage. If the Iranians want to exact a certain amount of pain, the United States has the ability to exact much, much greater pain. I hope Iran makes the right response.

“

We have got to get Viktor Orbán reelected as prime minister of Hungary. His leadership can provide a model for the continent. I'm here to help as much as I possibly can. I won't tell the people of Hungary how to vote — I would encourage the bureaucrats in Brussels to do the exact same thing.

“

What we see happening in Budapest is one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I've ever seen or ever even read about. The European Union bureaucrats in Brussels are trying to tell the Hungarian people how to vote. That is unacceptable.

“

Foreign influence is when other governments threaten, cajole and try to use economic influence to tell you how to vote. We have never threatened Hungary saying, 'If you don't vote for Viktor Orbán, you're not going to get this and this.'

“

No one is above the law—not even a cabinet secretary

“

The stark images of the East Wing demolished in mere days were deeply disturbing to Americans who cherish preservation of our nation's history.

Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.
