John Cornyn: “This is also, finally, an important part of President Trump…”

“I encourage my fellow Republicans, Republicans, not to let the naysayers convince the American people that this is somehow bad for them when the opposite is actually true. This is also, finally, an important part of President Trump delivering on the promises he made when he won a historic election last November 5th. And it's our job to deliver on that electoral mandate by passing this agenda. This bill will do wonderful things for the 31 million people in my state and the 250 million people who call America home.” (23:13–23:25)
