Whip Emmer: “The end of this Congress marks a turning point in history. In this election cycle, Americans overwhelmingly rejected a Democrat party that puts illegal immigrants over American citizens, a commander in chief who doesn’t know which way is up, a vice president who thought she could awkwardly laugh off her role in breaking everything from the economy to the border, and a Senate Majority Leader who allowed House Republicans’ historic, commonsense legislation to collect dust on his desk. Americans chose a new era. Our 47th president, Donald J. Trump, will make his triumphant return to the White House in 34 days, and he’s ushering in a new Golden Age of America. Under President Trump’s leadership, our Republican trifecta will hit the ground running on day one to undo the damage Democrats have done by securing the border, fixing the economy, unleashing American energy, and extending the Trump tax cuts. We will also work with President Trump’s outstanding cabinet picks to deliver on our America First agenda. These guys will shake up the status quo here in Washington, which is exactly what Americans voted for and what they want.  I must confess, I’m looking forward to a cold Christmas in Minnesota – but I think I can speak for everyone on this leadership team when I say we also can’t wait to come back here in January to get the job done.”
