Examples of making in a Sentence

1. The President:

   This is not a contest about who can do better in front of a press conference or try to embarrass each other. It's about making The President very clear what the conditions are to get a better relationship are with Russia.

2. House Speaker Paul Ryan:

   We are making legal preparations if the president tries to break the law, and what boggles my mind is that the president is contemplating directing the military to knowingly break the law.

3. President Biden:

   We have to keep making the case, let me say this again: From the president, we’re going to win in 2022.

4. Jamarcus Glover:

   The police are trying to make it out to be my fault and turning the whole community out here making it look like I brought this to Breonna's door, there was nothing never there or anything ever there, and at the end of the day, they went about it the wrong way and lied on that search warrant and shot that girl out there.

5. Nancy Northup:

   We are devastated that the Supreme Court has refused to block a law that blatantly violates Roe v. Wade. Right now, people seeking abortion across Texas are panicking — they have no idea where or when they will be able to get an abortion, if ever. Texas politicians have succeeded for the moment in making a mockery of the rule of law, upending abortion care in Texas, and forcing patients to leave the state — if they have the means — to get constitutionally protected healthcare. This should send chills down the spine of everyone in this country who cares about the constitution.
