Whip Emmer: “Tonight, President Trump will address Congress and the American people to highlight his historic actions and bold vision to renew the American Dream. I have no doubt it’s gonna be BIG. The President’s first 43 days in office can be summed up in four words: promises made, promises kept. From bringing back American manufacturing with over $1.7 trillion in new investments, to saving taxpayers BILLIONS by rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government, to re-establishing peace through strength and America’s position on the world stage, to paving the way for our country to achieve energy independence once again, and ending the crisis at our southern border, resulting in the lowest border numbers in history and even driving reverse migration, President Trump has delivered countless victories to celebrate tonight. And if it’s a preview of what’s to come, which I believe it is, America has a great 4 years to look forward to as President Trump renews the American dream and unlocks our country’s Golden Age. Now before I go, I want to say that I’m also looking forward to welcoming my guests for the joint address tonight in the Capitol. Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth is going to join us, and hockey legends [and] gold medalists from 1980 Buzz Schneider and Rob McClanahan. These three certainly represent the best of Minnesota and the American spirit.”
