WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) released the following statement after President Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States:
“Today marks one of the greatest days in American history. Thanks to President Trump, we have an incredible opportunity to achieve extraordinary things for our country. There is no time to waste. The Senate must do its part and act with urgency to confirm President Trump’s cabinet and advance his America First agenda through Congress.
“By signing more than 200 day one executive orders, President Trump is fulfilling his promises to secure the border, initiate mass deportations, and unleash American energy. His decisive actions to remove critical race theory and radical transgender ideology from our schools and military are vital steps toward restoring common sense nationwide.
“I will always stand with President Trump in the Senate and look forward to fighting alongside him to restore American greatness. With President Trump leading the way, America’s best days are yet to come!”
