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.

Jon Kyl loved his state of Arizona and was a true legislator’s legislator. He was an incredibly hard worker and honorably returned to service when his state called. He was a dear friend and will be missed. Kimberley’s and my prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

I’m glad that congressional Republicans not only prioritized removing the threat of another dangerous government shutdown, but we did our job weeks before the deadline and with bipartisan support. While funding the government is one of our most basic responsibilities, my hope is that this effort proves that government shutdowns serve no one, and we should quickly complete our work on the fiscal year 2027 appropriations process.

No one is served by another shutdown – not either political party, and most of all, not the people we represent. I appreciate Chair @SenatorCollins' work to engage with Democrats and produce a bipartisan CR, and I look forward to bringing it up on the Senate floor in the coming days.

Honored to be able to welcome Darline Graham to the U.S. Senate today. I know she will carry on Lindsey’s tireless service for South Carolina, and I look forward to serving with her.

I applaud Governor McMaster’s decision to appoint Darline Graham Nordone to replace her brother and our friend, Lindsey Graham, in the U.S. Senate. Lindsey’s legacy will continue through Darline, and I look forward to welcoming her soon.

Proud to be an American and a South Dakotan and grateful to have @POTUS join us for America’s 250th. Happy July 4th — let freedom ring!! (📸 Getty Images)

Honored to have welcomed @POTUS back to Mount Rushmore for an incredible tribute to America last night. Today, on Independence Day, we celebrate what our founding fathers started 250 years ago. I’m thankful for all those who have fought for our freedom since then, and I am excited for the future of this great nation.🇺🇸

Because of Democrats’ historic temper tantrum, we will be funding Border Patrol and ICE for the full remainder of President Trump’s term. We are going to pass the Secure America Act, and with it, we are going to end this conversation about defunding the police.
