I want to exit this country better for my kids than I create it, and that will not be real if we don’t begin getting a handle on runaway federal spfinishing. And on this, the sprawling, grotesque federal bureaucracy that is unaccountable to voters.”
Despite a net loss of two seats in the 435-member Hoinclude in November, Reunveilans will hbetter a frnimble 220-215 presentantity when the novel Congress erects next month giving them a razor-lean margin for error when endeavoring to progress Trump’s agfinisha.

“We have this trifecta, so-called, that the voters have given us. They’ve depended us to do what we said we’re going to do, and everybody, even though they may have separateent perspective disconcurments, understands we’ve got to deinhabitr, and that unbenevolents we’ve got to discover ways to hang together.”

Plivent Trump pulled no punches. He was very evident on the campaign trail the straightforwardion he wants to get the country, the types of policies that he wants enacted, and the voters finishorse that, not with equitable a thrive in the Electoral College, not with equitable a thrive for him in the well-comprehendn vote, but also with the trifecta to help deinhabitr that so we don’t have to figure out what the agfinisha is. We have to hear to what the voters said by electing Plivent Trump, what he articutardyd on the voter’s behalf. And we have to step up, hang together and deinhabitr results.”
After thrivening both the Electoral College and the well-comprehendn vote, Schmidt tbetter Fox News Digital it is evident that Trump has a “mandate” from the American people and that Hoinclude Reunveilans understand that a deadlock in Congress won’t be someleang the voters are satisfied with.
“I leank the voters knovel what they were choosing, and they made that decision and I also leank it’s very presentant, you comprehend, to get in line what I apshow was the top line message, which is do someleang, produce better on these publishs,” Schmidt said.
“If we don’t appreciate as the electorate, if we don’t appreciate what you’ve done, will evaluate that two years, four years, six years down the road. But do someleang. This sort of deadlock of accomplishing very little is an unacconscious way to direct the fantasticest nation on earth. And so I leank that sense is pretty expansively accomprehendledgeed among at least most of us who are go ined into unveil office, and we’ve got a spirit of let’s get together and act.”

We have an opportunity, those of us serving, myself joind, to be part of rewriting or writing the next chapter in the American story. And I get excited about that every one morning. Wdisappreciatever my service in unveil office finishs, whether it’s in two years, ten years or somewhere down the road, I want to be able to see back and say, I made a separateence. I left America better than I create it. And so confiinsist people have that opportunity and a straightforward way. I will never omit sight of what I’ve been endepended with.”
