.@SenateGOP is committed to being here and doing whatever it takes to finish this legislative session strong and get as much done as we can for the American people.
Great to meet with Senators-elect Alme, Barr, Hageman, Hern, Letlow, and Moore, and welcome them to the Senate. I look forward to working with them to deliver for the American people.
While Republicans are prepared to work in a bipartisan way, we will also emphatically oppose Democrats when required to protect hardworking Americans and our system of government. The election wasn’t a mandate for radical policy and socialist fantasies, and I hope Democrats realize this.
Over the last two years, Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment that’s created safer streets, more money in Americans’ pockets, and new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead. After fighting Democrat obstruction at every turn, we prevented the largest tax hike in American history, secured our border in an unprecedented way, confirmed the president’s Cabinet at the fastest pace in two decades, and put strong conservative judges on benches across the country faster than we have since the Reagan administration. I’m proud of our team and everything we’ve done for the American people, and I’m looking forward to the important work we have in front of us over the next few months. As we head into 2027, Senate Republicans will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done. Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism. We cannot let their fringe positions become the mainstream.

Reversing the damage of the Biden years and improving Americans' lives, @SenateGOP accomplished what we set out to do:
✅delivering historic tax relief by passing the Working Families @TaxCuts
✅repealing costly Democrat regulations & spending
✅ securing the southern border
Hit the neighborhood with a few superheroes and some feline friends. Always a treat hanging with the grandkids on Halloween. 🎃
Honored to be a part of today’s 452nd Ordnance Company Army Reserve Departure Ceremony in Aberdeen. It’s great to see brave South Dakotans answering the call to serve.

From day one, Senate Republicans have worked with the Trump Administration to root out waste, fraud, and abuse to protect taxpayers.

Had a chance to tour Wagner Community School today. Thanks to the teachers and staff for showing me around.
Honored to be part of today’s activation ceremony for the South Dakota National Guard's 155th Engineer Company. Proud to see so many brave South Dakotans answering the call to serve.

❌ZERO releases at the border for seventeen straight months
🔽95% fewer border apprehensions compared to the Biden era
🔼63% increase in drug seizures
The most secure southern border in history. That is the Republican agenda in action.
Another SD pheasant opener in the books. Perfect day to be back home with some good friends taking in one of South Dakota’s great annual traditions. 😎 #HiFromSD
