He was a patriot, he cared about this country, he cared about every American and our safety. He cared about our allies. He knew there was good in the world. He knew that Putin, Xi, the Ayatollah, and Kim Jong Un are evil and we\u2019re the good guys. He\u2019s a big loss and whoever takes his place, it\u2019s going to be really hard to fill his shoes.\n\n\u2026\n\n\u201cIn 2018, when I was not supposed to win my Senate race, he came down and campaigned for me. It was right after the Kavanaugh hearing. He was a superstar and everybody loved him\u2026 when I ran against [Mitch] McConnell to be the Leader in 2022, he stood with me and supported me\u2026 He was not part of the establishment crowd saying, \u2018Oh I\u2019m just going to do whatever leadership tells me to do.\u2019 He had his views and he was passionate about them.\u201d\n\nON THE SENATE COMING BACK TO WORK TO PASS SAVE AMERICA ACT:\n\n\u201cI hope as Republican and Democrat Senators come back from this two-week recess and they did what I did\u2014go around my state, heard from everybody saying, \u2018you\u2019ve got to secure our elections.\u2019\n\n\u2026\n\n\u201cYou have to pass the SAVE America Act\u2026 I know I\u2019m going to work on it. I know Mike Lee is going to work on it. Ron Johson\u2019s going to work on it. Whatever we have to do\u2014 if we have to do the talking filibuster for two-three months, whether we have to get rid of the filibuster, we\u2019ve got to secure the elections\u2026 It\u2019s the most important thing for our country, so let\u2019s take as many days as it takes.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-14T07:08:55Z", "2026-07-14T07:10:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/2026/7/in-case-you-missed-it-sen-rick-scott-reflects-on-sen-lindsey-graham-s-legacy-on-brian-kilmeade-show"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5796399675309658, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
