Scalise Celebrates President Trump's Inauguration

Today, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) issued the following statement celebrating the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump:

“Today, with President Donald J. Trump finally sworn in as the leader of the United States, marks a new day for our nation with a much brighter future. President Trump gave a powerful speech outlining his vision for an America that’s safe, strong, free, and full of opportunity. This is a leader with not only a vision, but a plan to turn that vision into a reality for all Americans. President Trump made clear in his address to the nation that he heard the American people’s cry, and I am proud to already be working with him to resolve the issues facing families and workers so we can Make America Great Again. 
 
“For four years, Americans have paid the price for the Biden-Harris Administration’s failed radical policies at the gas pump, the grocery store, in housing costs, and the violent crime from an open southern border. The American dream has been out of reach for too many hardworking taxpayers, with raging inflation and all time low housing affordability. Communities across the country have been overrun with illegal immigrants, fentanyl, and violent crime. Our adversaries abroad have been emboldened by the Biden-Harris Administration’s weak foreign policy, attacking our allies and threatening our national security. In November, We the People said enough is enough. 
 
“President Donald Trump is a strong leader who has demonstrated his ability to fix the problems President Biden and Vice President Harris have created. The American people remember that under President Trump, our economy was strong, the border was secure, gas prices were low, and the United States was respected by foreign leaders. Our country and its people were thriving – and now, with President Trump back in office, we can be strong and secure again. 
 
“With President Trump back in the White House, and Republican majorities in the House and the Senate, we will lower costs for American families, shut down the Biden-Harris border crisis, unleash American energy, stand up to our adversaries, strengthen our economy, return to common sense, and restore our nation to greatness. Americans deserve a president who will fight for them every day, and today, President Trump reiterated that he will do just that. This is a great day for our country and the world. God Bless the United States of America.”
