"I came to Congress nearly a decade ago to improve the lives of the people I represent. We cannot afford to chase dreams of castles built in the clouds. Nor can we afford to throw up our hands when things are hard. We cannot let the vagaries of any one Senator, nor the intransigence of any number of extremists, stand in the way of our meeting the challenges today confronting our nation. From a breaking health care system, to a rapidly warming climate, to our children's future, we stand at the crossroads. "The Build Back Better Act will lift up our nation and directly address these challenges by lowering the cost of prescription drugs, building our clean energy economy and lifting children out of poverty. All while easing inflationary pressures and being 100% paid-for. "No one man gets to decide when we give up on these causes. I will never give up on this work. And I pray that Senator Manchin can find a way to not give up here either. Even if today our differences may temporarily feel unbridgeable, we are a strong nation and will persevere." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |
