I'm confident that Senate Republicans will put up a very strong and valiant effort to continue doing what we're united around.

I do not wish harm on our constituents.

Realizing the responsibility I've been entrusted with... it's humbling. Very humbling.

I guess I was always in awe at the amount of energy that surrounds Washington, D.C. My experience in coming up before was that it was a very, very busy place.

I think it's fair to say that there's a lot of conversations between House members and Senate members on a regular basis, and I think that's what our constituents would expect, is to have bicameral conversations throughout the process.
