Whip Emmer: “‘The Golden Age of America begins right now.’ That was President Trump’s opening statement of his inaugural address just one year ago, and, boy, was he right. As we stand here 366 days later, it’s incredible to think back on the historic wins we have achieved in such a short amount of time. From passing the largest tax cut in American history to securing the border to rooting out the worst waste, fraud, and abuse that has plagued our government for way too long to making America the crypto capital of the world – President Trump, his all-star cabinet, and Republicans in Congress have worked in tandem to accomplish the impossible. Our wins haven’t come without difficulties – there’s no question we’ve had challenges. We’ve seen what great lengths the Democrats are willing to go to oppose our agenda at every turn. Look no further than last October, when the Democrats invoked the longest government shutdown in our history – inflicting the maximum amount of pain on the American people – just to pick a fight with Donald Trump. Or look at blue-state governors like failing Tim Walz, who would rather let criminal illegal aliens roam our communities than work with the Trump administration to enforce the rule of law and keep Minnesotans safe. But, in spite of the Democrats’ insanity, we continue to overcome the odds and deliver on our promises to the American people. This country is stronger, safer, and more prosperous thanks to President Trump’s leadership, and as he said in his inaugural address one year ago, this is only the beginning. The Golden Age of America is here, and we’re just getting started.”
