McConnell from Senate floor on $1.9T COVID-19 relief bill including "hand-crafted tweeks to Medicare so it pays more money to just three states, Rhode Island, New Jersey and the President's home state of Delaware. You might call it a special kickback for the Acela corridor."
Senate Commerce Chair Cantwell (D-WA) in support on Rhode Island Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo's Commerce Secretary nomination: "I think that this is one of the most things Governor Raimondo that can do as Secretary of Commerce, restore the respect for the scientific process."
Commerce Republican Cruz opposing Commerce Sec nominee Raimondo:"Gov. Raimondo's nomination is part of a pattern. So far,every action,every nomination that we have seen from nascent Biden Admin...we are seeing a steady & systematic embrace of communist China & that is dangerous."
