Floor Speeches

Wyden spoke on the floor 108 times on 82 session days in the 119th Congress.

Senate, September 30, 2026, 465 wordsNational Park System Long-Term Lease Investment Act
Reserving the right to object, every bit-- every bit--of real fraud needs to be rooted out. Unfortunately, the Trump fraud policy is not about that.

Senate, September 30, 2026, 578 wordsTaxpayer Assistance and Service Act
I rise to express the strongest possible support for the Taxpayer Assistance and Service Act.
That Day on the Floor Read in the Record ↗
Senate, August 7, 2026, 948 wordsRussia Sanctions (Executive Session)
I fully support taking tougher action against Russia. They have waged a deadly, years long war on Ukraine, and the United States must do more to tighten the screws on the Putin war machine.

Senate, July 28, 2026, 968 wordsNomination of Walter Clayton (Executive Session)
I speak today in opposition to the nomination of Jay Clayton to be Director of National Intelligence.
