Ricketts on President Trump’s First Days: “We Are Seeing Now Real Leadership in the White House Again”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) celebrated the first few days of President Donald Trump’s second term. Ricketts made the comments while on a conference call with Nebraska media.
“President Trump’s second inauguration marks an important turning point in our country,” Ricketts said. “After four years of open borders, high prices, overregulation, and weakness on the world stage, we are seeing now real leadership in the White House again. It was great to hear his plans for getting us back on track.”
“On day one, President Trump began delivering on these promises,” Ricketts continued. “His border actions will keep Americans safe. His repeal of Biden’s delusional mandates will make our nation more prosperous. His creation of a Department of Government Efficiency will bring needed accountability to the federal bureaucracy. This is the change Americans voted for.”
