Mr. Vice President, out of respect for the Kassig family, I have never discussed, in a political forum, my efforts as Indiana’s United States Senator to free Peter Kassig and the other hostages from ISIS captivity. Your comments tonight leave me no choice.

One thing I do clearly remember is I saw and spoke to those in the Obama/Biden administration in this all out effort to free Peter and the other hostages much more than I saw or heard from you about this effort.

We worked nonstop to see the Kassig family together again with their son, and I was heartbroken we could not get him home. I know firsthand the hard work put in by these Patriots, including the Administration, that you criticize tonight.

As you know, I (and so many others) worked day after day with the Obama/Biden administration, our military, and others to try and bring Peter and the others home from ISIS captivity.

Everyone in South Bend and Indiana is proud of our new Transportation Secretary, @PeteButtigieg. It looks like we can finally have that Infrastructure week we’ve heard about for the last four years! Mayor Pete, you will do a great job.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for this campaign. It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to represent Indiana in the Senate. I wish Mike Braun the best, and I hope he makes every single Hoosier proud as our senator.

Edith is one of many Hoosiers who is deeply concerned with @braun4indiana's support of the lawsuit that would strip health care from folks with pre-existing conditions. She knows Joe is the only candidate who will fight for health care protections for all Hoosiers.

Jim Songer worked at @braun4indiana's company. When Jim became severely sick, Braun fired him, canceled his health insurance & left him with $28,000 in bills.
Tonight when Braun talks about his company's "great" health care plan, he should have Jim on his conscience. #INSen

At the debate last night, @braun4indiana said he didn't support the lawsuit that would eliminate protections for people with pre-existing conditions, when in fact he's said he's supported it multiple times.

Donald Trump needs to immediately resign as President for inciting an insurrection against the U.S. government – he has betrayed us. If Trump will not resign, VP Pence needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. Failing that, President Trump needs to be impeached, convicted, and removed.

I am determined to not go back to the days when Hoosiers with pre-existing conditions are denied health coverage. It's just plain wrong.
U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly continued his fight for quality, affordable health care coverage for Hoosiers with pre-existing conditions by joining a resolution that would allow the Senate’s Legal Counsel to represent the Senate in Texas v. United States. wimsradio.com/2018/07/19/don…

1.1 million Hoosiers under 65 have pre-existing conditions like the ones listed below. Rep. Mike Braun has spent a year campaigning on health care plans that eliminate coverage protections for all of them.

Jennica's triplets were born premature & spent 3 months in the NICU. That stay cost millions. Without the ACA's elimination of lifetime coverage caps, her family might have faced medical bankruptcy. No one should face bankruptcy to save their child's life. wsbt.com/news/local/sen-donn…

"Pre-existing condition" is just a fancy term for a kid with asthma or someone with diabetes. Neither of these should disqualify any Hoosier from receiving affordable health care.
