Looking forward to working with incoming House Republican Leader @Jim_Jordan to advance conservative priorities and hold the line against Democrats’ efforts to enact their far-left agenda.

I hope everyone is ready to run through the tape, because there’s more work to be done in the 119th Congress. And we are going to leave it all on the field.

Celebrating 250 years of American independence would be incomplete without acknowledging that this nation endures because Americans have answered and continue to answer the call to serve. I want to wish all those who have served a happy Veterans Day.

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.
