First of all, President Trump received an overwhelming mandate not just in Kentucky's First Congressional District, but all across Kentucky. The mandate was to do two major things. First of all, obviously, the mandate involved draining the swamp. That is what President Trump campaigned on; and, secondly, to pass an America First agenda. With respect to draining the swamp, President Trump nominated disrupters to lead his Cabinet and agencies, people like Kash Patel at the FBI; John Ratcliffe at the CIA; and RFK, Jr., at HHS. I was proud to support every single nominee, and I am pretty confident that every single nominee will win Senate confirmation, which has never happened before. With respect to passing an America First agenda, the first step in that was what we voted on last week, a budget reconciliation bill.

This is what President Trump campaigned on not just in Kentucky but all across America.…”
