Some things are complicated. Some things aren't. You don't raise taxes on the front edge of a recession. And you certainly don't raise taxes on American job creators fighting to compete with the likes of China in an uncertain world.

Michael Bennet's been in the Senate for 13 years and had every opportunity to secure this border. It's still not secure. We need real leadership to deliver border security and immigration reform.

I’ve been talking to Coloradans throughout the state and they’re not satisfied. Biden keeps taking our country down the wrong path and working Americans are the ones getting left behind. It’s unbelievable. What Biden has done in 12 months took Jimmy Carter four years.

I was in Yuma today meeting with regional leaders from the Eastern Plains. Then I went to Aurora for a candidate forum hosted by the African Leadership Group. No sign of Michael Bennet. I didn’t go to the Ivy Leagues but I know this much: You can’t lead if you don’t show up.
