Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I rise today, along with my colleague from North Dakota, Senator Kevin Cramer, to honor the 2024 NCAA FCS national champions, the North Dakota State University Bison--and, yes, it is pronounced ``buy-zuhn.'' Anyone from Bison Nation, which is the ardent fan base that supports this great program, will tell you that. On Monday night, the Bison finished another impressive football season by winning their 10th FCS national title--correct, their 10th. The Bison broke their own record for the most FCS titles of all time, including their wins in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, and now 2024. They have won, actually, 19. That is just 10 since 2011. They have actually one 19 NCAA football championships. The game was on national television, with more than 3 million people watching as it neared its exciting conclusion. I had the opportunity last night to talk to President Trump about it, and right away, he said: You guys have a great team. Senator Cramer was there as well, and as a matter of fact, I think Senator Cramer texted him either during or right after the game. I am not sure. He will tell us. But, needless to say, I waited until Wednesday night to talk to the President. But he, right away, said: You have a great team, a great program, and of course we want them back at the White House. We had them there, Kevin, I think it was 5 years ago.”
