President Biden's Joint Address

Following President Biden's address, my Republican colleagues and I shared an alternative vision to President Biden's 'I'm-from-the-government-and-I'm-here-to-help' plans. You can read my full response to the President's joint address to Congress here.

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) gave an incredible response to President Biden's joint address to Congress. He spoke about the promise of America and how the divisive and radical nature of the Left's agenda hurts working Americans while delivering conservatives' vision for our country based on common sense and common ground. You can watch Senator Scott's entire speech here.

Cammack: Biden ‘Glazed Over’ Border 'Crisis' (Floridian Press)

Freshman Florida Rep. Kat Cammack (R) did so, criticizing the President, saying that Biden "glazed over" the "crisis" at the border, and going after Vice President Kamala Harris (D). It’s reported that Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to visit the border in June, and this is something that the Biden administration has received criticism over. A number of lawmakers have visited the border, but the President and Vice President have not. On Twitter, Rep. Cammack expressed how "disappointed" she was at the job Vice President Harris has done to answer immigration concerns at the border.
