“Tennessee is leading the nation in nuclear energy innovation & school choice, & we now have a partner in the White House who understands why these priorities are critical to America’s success,” Lee posted.
“President Donald Trump is delivering on his promises to the American people,” Senator Marsha Blackburn said. “He is indeed renewing the American Dream.”
Other Tennessee GOP leaders, including Rep. Tim Burchett, Senator Bill Hagerty, and Rep. Andy Ogles commended Trump’s vision for the future of the nation.
“I am inspired and optimistic,” Hagerty said. “The renewal of the American Dream is in full swing.”
Rep. Scott DesJarlais also released a statement praising Trump:
“President Trump laid out a clear path forward for the United States to enrich our economy, strengthen our national defense, and restore American energy independence.
Tonight was a night to celebrate the many accomplishments his team has made so far. The Trump Administration has been hard at work eliminating woke DEI policies, overburdensome regulations, and wasteful government spending. Most importantly, after four long years of open borders under the Biden Administration, President Trump was able to tell the American people that illegal migrant border crossings have hit a historic low.
The behavior that was displayed by those on the Left tonight were unconscionable. Proper respect and decorum for the president is expected out of any decent human being, especially those elected to serve in the United States Congress. Make no mistake, these antics will not deter the focus House Republicans have to deliver on our promise to further advance the America first agenda.“
