On House Republicans Rallying Behind President Trump: <_o3a_p>

"Well, first of all, I'm proud to be in Atlanta, Georgia as one of the top surrogates for President Trump. I think what the American people are going to see tonight is a stark contrast of the weak, failed feckless leadership of Joe Biden that has created catastrophic crises whether it's the border crisis, the inflation crisis, the war on American energy, or the weakness and chaos around the world that has weakened our national security. Compare that with the success of President Donald Trump's presidency: record economic growth. You saw peace through strength with a strong Commander in Chief. You saw a booming economy and energy independence. So this will be a stark contrast tonight, and House Republicans are proud to be unified in support of President Trump as the American people are continuing to show greater and greater support for President Trump as shown in swing state polling which is historic across the country."

On The Humanitarian Crisis And Tragic Loss Of Life Created By Joe Biden's Border Crisis: <_o3a_p>

"This is reprehensible. This is the heinous human side of this humanitarian crisis that Joe Biden's wide open border has created whether it's Jocelyn Nungaray, Laken Riley and their poor families who are mourning the loss of their beloved daughters, these innocent, young women, or this breaking news in Albany, New York, which is where I grew up in Upstate New York. The fact that you had a fifteen-year-old violently raped by an illegal. In Syracuse, New York, you had a twenty-one-year-old murdered on her birthday, and buried at the Syracuse public park by an illegal. This is the humanitarian travesty from Joe Biden's wide open border, and this is why House Republicans passed the Secure the Border Act. This is why, when President Trump talks about securing the border, he did it. We had the most secure border in our nation's history because of President Trump's strong policies. So this will be a key issue that will be discussed. No amount of talking points for Joe Biden. is going to make up for the humanitarian losses of innocent lives because of this illegal crisis because of Joe Biden's wide open border.

"That's right, Sean, and the fact that these young losses of life, again, twelve-year-olds, fifteen-year-olds, twenty-one-year-olds on their birthday. I am a mom. I have an almost three-year-old. Every mom in America, our heart goes out to these families who are mourning their loved ones, their innocent children, these minors who have lost their lives because of Joe Biden's wide open borders. These policies have had a humanitarian impact and it's been a crisis. It's inhumane these wide open borders, let alone the nearly 100,000 minors that have been lost by Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security. This is a humanitarian crisis. It's a national security crisis, an economic crisis, and President Trump will secure the border. How do we know that? Because he did, and because he will do it again on day one."

On Joe Biden's Weakness On the World Stage And The Need to Return to President Trump's Peace Through Strength:<_o3a_p>

"That's exactly right. And If you look at the chaos around the world, whether it's Putin's invasion of Ukraine, whether it's Hamas' terrorist attack against our most precious ally Israel, leading to the bloodiest day since the Holocaust. This is because of Joe Biden's weakness and because of his failed, feckless foreign policy. Our adversaries are watching. I serve on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Intelligence Committee. President Trump brought stability and peace around the world, reinvested in our nation's military. It's Joe Biden who has shown weakness on the world stage. And our adversaries, whether it's Xi Jinping, whether it's terrorists backed by Iran, they sense that American weakness, and they're trying to take advantage and sow chaos, weakening our national security. The American people are smart. They saw the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan. They see the unrest and the terrorist attack against Israel in the Middle East. They want to return to the effective policies of President Trump as Commander in Chief, and House Republicans are ready to get to work on day one to bring back the policies of peace through strength."
