We all lived through September 11. I was here at the Capitol that day. I saw the evil of our enemies written in the smoke rising above the Pentagon.

[Donald Trump] is a man known for a large personality, a colorful style and lots of charisma. And so I guess he was just looking for some balance on the ticket.

My Christian faith is at the very heart of who I am.

I think the relationships that we [with Donald Trump] developed on Capitol Hill are the reason why he's asked me to be a part of the team that's working to move our agenda forward in the House and in the Senate.

This is a very challenging time in the life of our nation. Weakened America's place in the world after the leadership of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on the world stage has been followed by an economy that is truly struggling, stifled by an avalanche of more taxes, more regulations, Obamacare, the war on coal and the kind of trade deals that put American workers in the back seat.

The American people want change, and they see in Donald Trump a leader who embodies the American spirit.

I think I've always believed in Ronald Reagan's adage, "Peace through Strength." Let's grow stronger on a transatlantic basis in our economies.
