Honoring John McCain

August 28, 2018

‘As I noted yesterday, the Senate is eager to work on concrete ways to continue this momentum and provide a lasting tribute to this American hero long after this week’s observances are complete… In order to make sure we realize these intentions, I’d like to put together an official group that can collaborate and bring together ideas from current members, former colleagues, and friends. It will be bipartisan -- as only befits John’s legacy. And come to think of it, we should probably call it not a committee, but a gang. So I’m glad we’ll be able to form this gang to ensure that a suitable, lasting tribute becomes a reality.’

‘The Senate has now passed regular appropriations measures that account for 87% of next fiscal year’s discretionary spending. We finalized our work on the National Defense Authorization Act, named for Senator McCain. And in August alone, we’ve confirmed eight more of the president’s well-qualified nominees for the federal courts… I hope we can continue to make progress. It remains my intention to confirm all 17 of the nominees currently before us before the Senate concludes our business this week.’
‘So while our Democratic friends keep railing against tax reform and regulatory reform. Keep insisting we should compile more money and power here in Washington. Republicans know better. We know that a real recovery is when Americans -- of all ages, all abilities, and in all parts of the country -- have more opportunities to earn their own success. And we’re proud that our policies are helping make that happen.’
