Rep. Simpson Applauds President Trump’s Leadership in State of the Union Address

WASHINGTON— Today, Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson released the following statement in response to President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address. “After four years of Biden’s failed policies and countless lies, President Donald Trump’s leadership has turned our country around,” said Rep. Simpson. “We now have the most secure border in American history, regulatory reform, and our servicemembers and veterans are being taken care of. Crime is plummeting, inflation is down, and we’re no longer reliant on countries that hate us. Thanks to President Trump and Republicans in Congress, an economic comeback is underway. We enacted the largest tax cut in American history, allowing hardworking Americans to keep more of what they earn in real time. Additionally, we’re creating a new generation of investors with the visionary ‘Trump Accounts.’ Despite Congressional Democrats trying to obstruct President Trump's policy agenda by voting against economic relief, the financial security of future generations, and engaging in political stunts that jeopardize essential government operations — this time jeopardizing FEMA, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, and other critical Homeland Security operations — our country is heading in the right direction. Americans are safer, their paychecks are bigger, and this shows that policies truly matter.”
