Last night, President Donald J. Trump delivered a record-breaking State of the Union Address — the longest in American history — proclaiming the arrival of a new Golden Age for our nation just one year into his transformative second term. With boundless optimism and deep pride in our nation, President Trump highlighted his extraordinary progress in securing the border, unleashing prosperity, achieving energy dominance, and restoring American strength, while paying heartfelt tribute to everyday American heroes.

His powerful and uplifting address immediately earned widespread acclaim from media, commentators, lawmakers, and grassroots voices alike — who praised its bold optimism, masterful storytelling, and unapologetic celebration of American revival.

Here’s what they’re saying:

New York Post Editorial Board: “President Trump hit it out of the park (again) with his 2026 State of the Union address, perhaps his most remarkable speech yet. The event was an unabashed celebration of America in its 250th year, hailing heroes from the Olympic hockey champions to 100-year-old veterans — and with a close reiteration why the nation’s best days are yet to come. He was the happy warrior we’d asked him to be, with a strong, clear message untainted by grievance — even as he expressed his disappointment with last week’s Supreme Court ruling on tariffs and drew clear distinctions between his program and the opposition’s.”

CBS News host Tony Dokoupil: “It was an extraordinary speech — the longest to a joint session in history, the longest State of the Union in history. In some ways, vintage Trump: combative, populist. Historic for other reasons, as well.”

USA Today columnist Ingrid Jacques: “Ahead of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, he promised he’d discuss how we are a country ‘that’s now doing well with the greatest economy we’ve ever had.’ That’s what he needed to do, and overall, he did.”

Fox News host Laura Ingraham: “When future historians want to understand how Trump dominated American politics for 12 years, they should watch and read this speech.”

Commentator Marc Thiessen: “Truly one of the best SOTUs ever. The way he weaves the stories of ordinary Americans into his policy narrative is unmatched.”

Fox Business Network Senior Correspondent Charles Gasparino: “Trump is a colossus; an amazingly patriotic speech”

The Federalist’s Sean Davis: “Home run, from beginning to end. What a fantastic speech.”

OutKick founder Clay Travis: “This is an incredibly positive pro-America speech. I legit don’t know how anyone could disagree with a single thing Trump has said so far. It’s all basic common sense — lower crime, secure borders — and a celebration of American excellence through sports and military service.”

Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle: “This speech was Trump at his absolute finest and may have been his best speech yet — he’s definitely given some bangers over the years though. Exactly the right tone and message he needed ahead of the midterms.”

NewsNation host Katie Pavlich: “President Trump weaving stories of real Americans – tragic and triumphant – throughout the entirety of his speech was phenomenal.”

Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn: “SOTU How times have changed. Trump gave an artful and moving speech illustrating his policies with a parade of hero Americans from all walks of life. Probably his best speech framing his domestic and foreign policies. In contrast the Democrats were reduced to cat calls and slogans with curse words inappropriate for kids. They looked silly and small while Trump hit big, lofty goals and evoked emotion though the stories of real people.”

The Blaze founder Glenn Beck: “Tonight, you are seeing a different @potus at the #stateoftheunion .    He is not cocky or a ‘big talker’ which is a hallmark and the funniest part of Trump.  Tonight however, he has been funny in different ways, but he is not arrogant, he is confident, he knows who he is, and now WHAT HE HAS DONE.   His track record in this last year doesn’t need any boasting.   It speaks for itself.  Time will tell, but my guess is that in 100 years, it will be George Washington, Father of our country, Lincoln, the savior of the Union and Trump, the REFOUNDING Father of the US.   Thank you @realDonaldTrump”

National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez: “You saw a President who wants to make it a point to ensure that Americans don’t become the minority in America.”

ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl: “I would say overall, in terms of the speech, I mean, this had the makings of a, you know — they had real high moments of patriotism, great stories he told…”

Commentator Scott Jennings: “Moment of the night: Democrats refusing to stand to affirm their allegiance to American citizens over illegal aliens. Will be signature moment of this speech. Trump nailed them.”

The Blaze host Steve Deace: “I thought it was Trump’s best State of the Union speech yet.”

Fox News contributor Ben Domenech: “Fortunately for Republicans, Trump is very good at this.”

The Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway: “Trump asks people to stand if they agree that the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens and not illegal aliens. No Democrats stand. Trump pauses, understanding the significance of the moment heading into midterms.”

NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon: “The showmanship, the stage direction, the surprise guest reveals, it’s truly off the charts tonight!”

The Callahan Show host Gerry Callahan: “A-plus. Trump’s best State of the Union, maybe his best speech ever. Wonderfully defiant, combative and unapologetic. Just relentlessly pro-American.  Exactly what we voted for.”

Mark Levin: “It’s not just an excellent speech, it’s mostly POTUS himself.  He’s a truly historic leader.  I know it drives DC nuts. Who cares.”

Journalist Matt Taibbi: “For Donald Trump I think that was a very successful speech.”

Buck Sexton: “This is the best State of the Union Address I’ve ever seen[,] Not just by Trump. By any President.”

Allie Beth Stuckey: “Overall, Trump’s speech was strong and painted an unapologetically America First picture of our future while highlighting the deadly failures of progressive policies. It made all of the right people mad.”

The Daily Signal Politics Editor Bradley Devlin: “President Donald Trump delivered a brilliant speech tonight. He gave the GOP the roadmap to victory in the midterms. It was an aggressive, America First vision for the country, and he put pressure on Republicans in Congress to deliver.”

Washington Free Beacon Editor-in-Chief Eliana Johnson: “He bookended the speech with things that left me, and I think all Americans… feeling positive and good about the country.”

Patrick Bet-David: “This is going to be used in campaign videos for mid terms. What American voter would choose a candidate that defends illegal aliens over Americans? Who? Another 80/20 issue that democrats get wrong.  It might even be a 90/10 issue. Double dumb.”

Former top Obama advisor David Axelrod: “I think [President Trump] did well … He used the gallery very skillfully.”

CNN’s Abby Phillip: “I thought President Trump actually delivered a higher energy speech than, I think, even his speech last year… Big moments, emotional moments.”

Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer: “This stretch of the speech about immigration and voter ID has been very powerful.”

Former Sen. Jim DeMint: “At the State of the Union address, President Donald Trump laid out a vision to transform healthcare in the United States: his Great American Health Plan, which would give subsidies directly to people rather than to the big insurance companies. Republicans in Congress need to turn this vision into a reality so that it can start to make healthcare more affordable ahead of the midterms.”

Former Rep. Patrick McHenry: “He nailed the Republican base.”

Former White House Deputy Counsel Gene Hamilton: “Could not have been more clear about the current state of our great nation.”

Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume: “It was, in a way, uplifting, I think. I think it probably did him — in the short-term, at least — some political good, for sure.”

Georgetown University College Republicans President Shae McInnis: “The President laid out an economic miracle. His economic agenda is so particularly tailored to my generation — my generation that has anxiety about finding jobs and starting families. And from his vital tariffs to his tax cuts to even his policies on housing and health care, this President is fighting for my generation.”

Commentator Priya Patel: “President Trump’s State of the Union tonight was really for the American people, and again, like we said, specifically for Gen Z. We’ve been facing an affordability crisis and job scarcity for an incredibly long time… These are top priorities for the President, and he made that evidently clear in tonight’s address.”

Buzz Patterson: “This is the best State of the Union I’ve ever seen!”

Grant Cardone: “Trump calls out Democrats for not standing to end the transitioning of children, ‘These people are crazy.’ Most authentic President in history.  Tonight’s SOTU speech could swing the midterms!”

Kevin Sorbo: “Great success!”

Great American Health Alliance President Keith Nahigian: “The Health Alliance stands with President Trump in his fight to put patients back in control of American healthcare by moving federal health dollars out of bureaucracy and into the hands of the people.”

Faith & Freedom Coalition: “@POTUS delivered a speech for the ages, and we are so proud of the hard work done by Americans of faith to ensure that their values had the biggest microphone in Washington!”

Associated Builders and Contractors President and CEO Michael Bellaman: “ABC appreciates the president’s continued focus on the economy, expanding opportunity for American workers and addressing affordability. These priorities align with the principles that have guided ABC and its 67 chapters for more than 75 years and continue to drive success across the construction industry, which employs more than 8.3 million people and contributes more than $2 trillion annually to the U.S. economy… “The president’s broader pro-growth agenda is delivering tangible benefits. The historic Working Families Tax Cuts legislation, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, allows hardworking Americans to keep more of their paychecks and invest in their businesses. Meanwhile, progress on permitting reform is helping critical projects move forward more efficiently, while a more predictable and balanced approach to the Waters of the United States rule is reducing regulatory uncertainty for construction employers nationwide. Further, the new majority on the National Labor Relations Board will bring a more balanced approach to labor law and end regulatory overreach that threatens workers and job creators alike.”

National Small Business Association President and CEO Todd McCracken: “NSBA is pleased that President Trump underscored the broad benefits of the 2025 tax bill which has and will continue to benefit many small businesses with parity, predictability and permanency—something NSBA has been urging for many years.”

Americans for Prosperity CEO Emily Seidel: “This evening, President Trump outlined a number of significant accomplishments that have helped to change the trajectory of our country, slow inflation, and put more money in Americans’ pockets. We were proud to do our part to help advance The Working Families Tax Cut to the President’s desk. That historic piece of legislation was essential, and we will continue to connect people to its benefits. We were also glad to hear that the President isn’t ready to stop productive policy-making this year. The American people have been clear: they want Congress to act urgently to drive solutions, continue to bring down costs, and advance reforms that provide both immediate relief and long-term benefits.”

Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council President and CEO Karen Kerrigan: “President Trump’s focus on America’s economic momentum and the remaining work ahead to build on his policies to strengthen growth and opportunity spoke to the priorities and pain points of entrepreneurs and small business owners. The President reviewed important policy wins that are directly impacting America’s small businesses, and our latest Small Business Check Up Survey confirms that these policies are making a measurable difference… SBE Council appreciates the Trump Administration’s engagement, and willingness to listen and respond to the ideas and concerns of entrepreneurs. We look forward to working with the President and his team in the days ahead to broaden and strengthen the gains already secured through pro-growth policies.”

Gov. Greg Gianforte: “In one year, President Donald J. Trump has secured our borders, strengthened our communities, and brought the American dream into greater reach. Thanks to @POTUS’s leadership, the state of our union is strong.”

Gov. Kay Ivey: “@POTUS delivered a strong, patriotic, optimistic and America First state of the union tonight. As we look towards our nation’s 250th this summer, we can be proud about where we are going. The state of our union is STRONG!”

Gov. Mike Kehoe: “Patriotic words from President Trump tonight as we celebrate 250 years of our great Nation. The state of our Union is STRONG.

Gov. Jeff Landry: “America is BACK! We are bigger and better than ever before thanks to President @realDonaldTrump’s leadership. The State of our Union is STRONG and it’s only going to get better from here”

Gov. Brad Little: “As we look to celebrate 250 years of our great nation, it is evident that the state of our Union is strong! Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump. Idahoans look forward to another year of bold leadership dedicated to putting the American people FIRST.”

Gov. Joe Lombardo: “Tonight, I was encouraged by President Trump’s commitment to growing our nation’s economy, lowering costs for hardworking families, and protecting American workers. In Nevada, we share those priorities, and I will continue working with the President to strengthen our economy, expand good-paying job opportunities, and ensure every Nevadan has the opportunity to achieve the American Dream right here at home.”

Gov. Patrick Morrisey: “Tonight, during the State of the Union, President Donald Trump awarded the Purple Heart to Specialist Sarah Beckstrom (posthumously) and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, a solemn recognition of extraordinary courage in defense of our nation’s capital. Thank you, @RealDonaldTrump, and @SecWar, for honoring their sacrifice before the American people.”

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders: “America has been strong for 250 years because of heroes like those honored tonight – in uniform, on the ice, and in communities across the nation. President @realDonaldTrump’s State of the Union is a reminder that the next year will be built on that same strength.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune: “Over the past year, President Trump and Republicans in Congress have worked together to get our country moving again and deliver real results for working families in South Dakota and across our nation.”

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso: “Tonight, @POTUS was able to report that America is back on track. Republicans promised safety and prosperity for our nation, and we’ve delivered. The border is secure. Gas prices are at a 5-year low. Jobs are coming back. Wages are up And we’re just getting started.”

Sen. Jim Banks: “Exceptional speech by President Trump celebrating so many American heroes and America 250. Great honor to be there and represent Indiana”

Sen. Katie Britt: “Last night, @POTUS delivered the strongest State of the Union address in modern history. While Democrats stayed in their seats, Americans across the country felt a renewed hope as President Trump delivered a message of American pride and exceptionalism that we have not felt in years.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn: “The State of the Union is strong because our border is secure. This is what real leadership looks like.”

Sen. John Boozman: “The Republican agenda is helping Arkansans keep more of their hard-earned paychecks while bolstering national security and protecting communities from dangerous threats including crime and drugs. We are working closely with the Trump administration, delivering on these priorities through the Working Families Tax Cuts and other policies that reduce burdensome regulations, unleash domestic energy and support those defending us at home and abroad. Importantly, the president’s leadership secured a once-in-a-generation investment for the families who feed, fuel and clothe the world, and we will continue our efforts to ensure a bright and strong future for rural America. I’m grateful for our partnership and appreciate his firm dedication to Arkansas’s and our nation’s prosperity.”

Sen. Ted Budd: “Thank you @POTUS for honoring Iryna Zarutska’s memory & standing with her loved ones. Our leaders should take violent criminals & repeat offenders seriously, enforce our laws, & always take action to protect citizens—not criminals.”

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito: “Tonight, President Trump delivered a forward-looking message highlighting the incredible progress achieved during his first year in office, while outlining a determined vision to build on that momentum and continue moving the country forward. Framing his remarks around the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, he emphasized the historic significance of this milestone and called on Americans to seize this milestone as an opportunity to shape the next chapter in our nation’s story. More importantly, families in West Virginia and around our country who felt neglected by the policies of the previous administration are no longer forgotten, and there is a renewed sense of optimism that is evident across our state and our nation.”

Sen. Bill Cassidy: “Just wrapped up the State of the Union Address. I’ve worked with President Trump to deliver real results like ending taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security and lowering the price of prescription drugs. He’s got a bright vision for the country. I’ll keep working to lower costs and keep Louisiana communities safe.”

Sen. John Cornyn: “During the #SOTU tonight, @POTUS truly did lay out his vision to make America strong, prosperous, and respected as we head into the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding @America250.”

Sen. Ted Cruz: “I thought President Trump’s State of the Union address was masterful. The President’s record of success contrasts with the Democrats’ anger and hate like night and day.”

Sen. Kevin Cramer: “I just thought the president was fantastic tonight. He talks about so many things, it’s hard to boil it down to highlights. But what I really appreciated was he reiterated in very plain language without dwelling on any one thing. He articulated the victories of the last year, and particularly in the economy part of it. And of course, talking about the growth of American oil production and of course, the Venezuelan oil, the bringing down of gas prices and energy dominance. He was solid on that as he always is. Of course, reminding the people of just how overrun our nation was by illegal criminals, tens of millions of illegal aliens coming into our country. And the havoc they wreaked on us especially in certain cities and sanctuary cities especially. I just thought it was really good for him to remind us of how awful it was and then remind us of how good it is now with a border that’s not only no longer wide open, but it’s completely closed.”

Sen. Ted Cruz: “President Trump gave a bold, optimistic, and forward-looking speech tonight. I have been in the Senate for 14 years, and I have never seen a year like the past one in terms of the victories we have achieved.”

Sen. Steve Daines: “Just walking out of the Capitol complex after listening to President Trump’s State of the Union Address. Really remarkable evening. So proud of how the President recognized many ordinary Americans who’ve done extraordinary things. Proud to serve with the President, his great team, his great Cabinet. Thankful that we live in the greatest country in the world and that’s the United States of America.”

Sen. Joni Ernst: “Under President Trump’s leadership, America is back! As we near 250 years of freedom, we are unlocking the Golden Age of America.”

Sen. Deb Fischer: “Tonight, President Trump articulated the success of his policies to rebuild our military, keep our communities safe, lower energy costs, and realize the American dream for all U.S. citizens. I was pleased to hear the president renew his commitment to securing our borders, strengthening our economy, and cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. I look forward to continuing to partner with him to make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “A compelling speech. A breathtaking summary of the most successful first year of any president in modern history. ✅ Growing prosperity at home.✅ Safer abroad. ✅ Bad guys on the run. Also, very high energy and unfortunately for the Democrats, they took the bait every time. Well done, Mr. President. America is back.”

Sen. John Hoeven: “President Trump’s address celebrated the 250th anniversary of our great nation and highlighted people and policies that make our country better and stronger. The President showed the real impact of the tax relief we passed last year in enabling Americans to keep more of their hard-earned dollars and our continued work to make life more affordable for families across the nation. That includes supporting our farmers and ranchers to ensure we continue to have the highest-quality, lowest cost food supply in the nation, and unleashing energy production in North Dakota and across the nation to fuel our economy and bring down costs. The President outlined work to make our nation safer here at home by securing our borders and stopping drug and human trafficking. Additionally, by promoting ‘peace through strength’ and supporting our men and women in uniform, we are making our nation more secure while keeping our adversaries in check. The address acknowledged the tremendous feats of Americans – from gold medal winners to U.S. servicemembers to a 100-year-old war veteran – and the people that make our nation great. We look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and his administration to keep our nation strong and prosperous for the next 250 years.”

Sen. Ron Johnson: “Tonight was a celebration of America and its heroes, laying bare the Democrats’ craven ideology and policies. Unbelievable that Democrats would not stand to reaffirm the American government’s first duty is to American citizens, NOT illegal aliens.”

Sen. Jim Justice: “What we heard tonight wasn’t just talk, but a celebration of all President Trump has accomplished since taking office. Under President Trump’s leadership, America is back on the right track. We’ve secured the border, stood with our men and women of law enforcement, cut wasteful spending in Washington, built a stronger economy for our hardworking families, supported our vital energy sector, and put the American Dream back in reach for Americans across the board. Hats off to President Trump, because we’ve moved mountains, and we have a whole lot of momentum at our backs to carry us forward.”

Sen. James Lankford: “Thanks to President Trump, the border is more secure.”

Sen. Roger Marshall: “Your family is safer today because of President Trump.”

Sen. Mike Lee: “Our destiny is written by the hand of Providence. God bless America, the greatest country on Earth.”

Sen. Dave McCormick: “@POTUS is delivering on the promises he made: peace through strength on the world stage, secure borders, safer communities, historic deregulation and tax relief, falling inflation, and greater economic opportunity. Pennsylvania is already seeing the results. With President Trump’s support, we secured $92 billion in new investments for the Commonwealth—in energy infrastructure, AI, and workforce development. The U.S. Steel–Nippon deal is strengthening American steel manufacturing and protecting good-paying jobs. And the Working Families Tax Cuts Act is now law, with benefits already being felt by hardworking families across our Commonwealth and the nation. The bottom line: the president is keeping his word. There has been lots of progress, but there’s still more work to do. I’m proud to stand with him and continue delivering real, meaningful results for the people of Pennsylvania.”

Sen. Markwayne Mullin: “One year ago, President Trump inherited a nation in crisis. In a matter of months, he’s restored 100% operational control of the southern border, incomes are rising, our military is strong, and America is respected again.”

Sen. Pete Ricketts: “Nebraskans elected President Trump to secure the border, cut taxes, and restore American strength. He is delivering on those promises. I will continue working alongside the President to deliver safer streets, more money in your pocket, and peace through strength.”

Sen. Jim Risch: “Under Republican leadership, Idahoans have more opportunity, more freedom, and more money in their pockets. In 2025 alone, we secured the border, delivered record tax relief for working families, killed the Lava Ridge project, eliminated excessive federal regulations, and reined in the wasteful federal spending that fueled inflation. President Trump’s first year back in the White House produced significant victories for Idaho, but our work is not over. I am committed to achieving even more for Idaho in the year ahead by partnering with my Senate colleagues to lower costs, ensure election integrity, and unleash American nuclear energy.”

Sen. Mike Rounds: “President Trump gave a great address to the nation this evening. I am looking forward to working with President Trump and my Senate colleagues to continue providing Americans with real results. Our nation is safer, our economy is stronger and our military is the most powerful in the world. We will keep building on these successes for an even brighter future for all Americans. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! #SOTU2026”

Sen. Rick Scott: “Our country is stronger than ever thanks to @POTUS’ America-first leadership!

Sen. Roger Wicker: “President Trump was clear in tonight’s State of the Union Address: peace through strength is being restored under his leadership. I am proud to support his much needed $1.5 trillion defense budget to rebuild our military, deter our adversaries, and win the battles of tomorrow.”

Speaker Mike Johnson: “President Trump gave the longest State of the Union speech in history because he had so many wins to tout. So much good news to deliver. So much to remind the American people of. That we have kept the promises that we made in 2024. And the first year of the second term of President Trump was amazing and he put a lot of that on display tonight.”

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise: “That was a MASTERCLASS from @POTUS. His message was crystal clear. To the American people: Your country is safer, stronger, and more prosperous than it was just one year ago. To the world: AMERICA IS BACK.”

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer: “If it wasn’t clear to you before, it should be now: the state of the Union is STRONG under @POTUS and Republican leadership. 250 years of history have led to this moment. America is BACK, and a new golden age has begun.”

House Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain: “Great job, Mr. President!”

Rep. Mark Alford: “What we just heard this evening was historic. It was bold, unapologetic, but it can be recapped as a simple message: America is back.

Rep. Rick Allen: “The state of our union is strong and getting stronger. Tonight, our country heard a unifying message from the President that we can all rally behind: bringing the American Dream back for working families. Inflation is down to 2.4%, mortgage rates have dropped to a three-year low, gas prices are at a four-year low, we delivered historic tax cuts that saved Georgia taxpayers from a 24% hike, average tax refunds are nearly 11% higher this year, we’ve had nine straight months of no illegal immigrant releases at our border, out-of-control government spending has been reined in, and much more. Our nation is only as strong as the people who call America home. The significant wins and vision for the future outlined tonight are a reminder that, together, President Trump and House Republicans are working overtime to restore American prosperity, strength, and freedom. With the best yet to come, I look forward to delivering continued progress and victories for hardworking Georgians in the 12th District.”

Rep. Jim Baird: “Under President Trump, the state of the Union is strong. President Biden did colossal harm to our nation, plunging us into crisis after crisis. President Trump has worked tirelessly to restore American prosperity from the Biden administration’s numerous catastrophes. I worked with President Trump to pass historic wins for Hoosier families and our farmers through the Working Families Tax Cuts. Under President Trump, the border is closed, and illegal immigration has plummeted to record lows. Americans are much safer now under President Trump’s leadership. There is always work to be done to create a more perfect Union. As we approach America’s 250th birthday, I look forward to working alongside the President to ensure Hoosiers can continue to prosper in the greatest country the world has ever seen.”

Rep. Troy Balderson: “It was an honor to represent my constituents at the State of the Union tonight. Under President Trump’s leadership, our nation is safer and more prosperous than it was a year ago. Illegal border crossings have fallen by 92 percent, crime stands at its lowest level in decades, and hardworking Americans are paying less in taxes—keeping more of what they earn. As our country marks 250 years of independence, we are reminded that the pursuit of the American Dream is what has always made America exceptional. Republicans remain committed to making that dream more attainable and more affordable for working families in Ohio and across the nation.”

Rep. Mike Bost: “President Trump’s State of the Union address capped off a tremendous year of putting America first. Inflation has cooled, while the job market and stock market heat up. We’ve locked in historic tax relief for working families. Our borders are secured and crime rates are dropping by double digits in cities across the country. And after four years of Joe Biden’s failed foreign policy, America’s might is respected by the world again. But this speech wasn’t just about what’s been accomplished; it was about what comes next. The President called on Congress to keep driving down costs, expand access to affordable healthcare and prescription drugs, reopen the doors to homeownership, and restore the people’s trust in our elections. Let’s turn the page to another successful year to come.”

Rep. Josh Brecheen: “It was an honor to attend @POTUS ‘s State of the Union address tonight. Congress, alongside President Trump, has fought hard to restore conservative values within our great nation. While there’s still lots of work to be done, I am encouraged by the direction our nation is headed and look forward to the year ahead! The American Dream is possible once again!!!”

Rep. Vern Buchanan: “Tonight, President Trump made one thing clear: the American Dream is alive and making a comeback. As we approach our nation’s 250th anniversary, the state of the union is strong and getting stronger because we are putting working families first. Republicans’ Working Families Tax Cuts are already delivering real relief for Floridians. Tax refunds are rising, families are keeping more of their hard-earned paychecks and seniors are seeing historic tax relief. Workers are no longer taxed on tips or overtime, the Child Tax Credit has been strengthened and small businesses finally have the certainty they need to grow. Working together, President Trump and House Republicans are rebuilding opportunity, strengthening families and renewing confidence in our future. We are lowering health care costs by investing in rural communities and advancing a prevention-focused approach that empowers Americans to be the CEOs of their own health. We have secured the border, strengthened public safety and refocused government on serving the American people. Promises made, promises kept. The American Dream is real, and the best is still ahead.”

Rep. Ken Calvert: “President Trump was absolutely right, we have no choice but to invest in America’s military might. As the Chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, I will continue to support his Peace Through Strength agenda!”

The President was clear that Republicans delivered on our promises of lower taxes, safer communities, and a brighter future for our nation. As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, families are breathing a new air of optimism. I will continue partnering with the President on our historic successes, and I will work in a bipartisan manner to create a more affordable future.”

Rep. Buddy Carter: “Tonight, President Trump stood before the nation and highlighted his historic wins and accomplishments. Our border is secure, law and order is restored, millions of American jobs have returned, and families are saving money. Democrats have tried – and will continue to try – to block President Trump at every turn, but they can’t deny this fact: because of President Trump, the state of our union is stronger and better than ever before. @POTUS’ resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to this country have proven what millions of Americans already know: he is the GREATEST president of our lifetime!”

Rep. Juan Ciscomani: “Great message tonight by President Trump. He told the story of the State of our Union through the people of our nation.  From honoring heroes who put their lives on the line for others, to highlighting the grieving family members of those we lost to violent crimes. The President also talked about the many accomplishments and progress we have made in just one year coming off the last administration’s highest inflation and worst border crisis this century.  Our border is secure, hard working Americans are keeping more of what they earned, and our military is stronger than ever.  We still have more work to do and he also laid out a clear vision on how to keep advancing. The American people are resilient, determined, and full of hope.”

Rep. Andrew Clyde: “PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH… Thank you, Mr. President!”

Rep. Tom Cole: “Tonight, President Trump delivered a powerful and forward-looking speech. American exceptionalism is not just an idea – it is the discipline to lead by the people, govern for the people, and defend the people with strength and conviction. Our nation’s future has always been rooted in facing our challenges, and our Commander in Chief has never shied from them. Thanks to strong direction in the White House, we’ve forged a renewed path forward in the last year.”

Rep. Jeff Crank: “Our #SOTU is strong. This past year alone, @POTUS and his Administration have worked with @HouseGOP to pass the largest tax cut in American history, overturn burdensome Biden-Era regulations, secure our American elections and borders, deliverer lower costs across the board, and more. As we look to the next three years, I have faith that this Administration will continue to deliver on America-First principles.”

Rep. Rick Crawford: “This evening, President Trump delivered an important message to all Americans, meeting them where they are, on the issues important to them. After four years of witnessing the collapse of law and orderand the placing of U.S. national security on the back burner, the United States of America has been ushered into a new age. The President didn’t just take stock in all we have accomplished thus far in his term, but more importantly, he laid out all the work still ahead for us to fulfill our promises to Americans.”

Rep. Monica De La Cruz: “Tonight, President Trump delivered a clear message: the state of our union is strong.”

Rep. Scott DesJarlais: “Just two days ago there was a third attempt to take President Trump’s life, yet tonight President Trump stood unafraid and showed true strength delivering his best State of the Union speech thus far. Tonight was a celebration of so many of the many accomplishments his administration has achieved so far. There have been zero illegal migrant crossings in the last nine months—a stark contrast compared to four years of open borders under Biden. Our borders are the strongest they’ve ever been in our nation’s lifetime. Our military and federal law enforcement recruitment rates are at record highs, ensuring our citizens sleep safely at night. Gas prices and inflation are down and wages are up, a testament to Trump’s commitment to create a booming economy and help Americans who have been struggling. President Trump said it best, this past year was a ‘turn around for the ages.’ I look forward to continuing to work with him to advance legislation that puts America first!”

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart: “God bless the United States of America and President @realDonaldTrump”

Rep. Byron Donalds: “In just ONE YEAR, we have achieved a transformation like NO OTHER… The Golden Age of America is upon us.”

Rep. Troy Downing: “President Trump has accomplished more in one year than the previous administration could in four. I’m proud to have worked alongside him with my Republican colleagues to deliver historic tax relief for families, workers, and businesses, secure our border, beat back inflation, and make everyday life more affordable for central and eastern Montanans. Here’s to three more years of the Golden Age.”

Rep. Mike Ezell: “Tonight, the President highlighted priorities that matter to families and workers across Mississippi — lowering taxes, rewarding hard work, and strengthening our nation’s security. Eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay puts more money back into the pockets of hardworking Americans, while securing our borders helps protect our communities from crime, drugs, and human trafficking… The people of Mississippi’s Fourth District want safe communities, economic opportunity, and responsible leadership, and I remain committed to helping the Trump Administration delivering results on those priorities.”

Rep. Pat Fallon: “In his State of the Union Address, President Trump rightly made the case for how his America First agenda is firing on all fronts to better the lives of our nation’s citizens. In the past year alone under his leadership, rampant inflation is down to 2.4 percent from its Biden era 9 percent peak, crime is at its lowest in 125 years, and zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the US. These are real facts and figures that are driving the economy and keeping America’s streets safe. On the world stage, President Trump’s time-tested modicum of “peace through strength” has restored deterrence towards our adversaries. Our military is strong, and our men and women in uniform once again have a Commander in Chief who has their back. Our hemisphere is secure, and we have demonstrated the supreme capabilities of our armed forces when it comes to advancing US interests and security abroad. Last night was a turning point in history, and we are incredibly fortunate to have a President who truly loves our country and the values it was founded upon. As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday this year, we can rest assured that America’s best days are yet ahead.”

Rep. Brad Finstad: “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, real people are seeing real relief.  Tonight’s address made it clear that our nation is moving in the right direction.  We are building a stronger, more secure future for the American people. I remain committed to working with my colleagues in Congress to continue advancing President Trump’s policies that deliver results for hardworking southern Minnesota families.”

Rep. Michelle Fischbach: “Tonight’s State of the Union proved that President Trump and Republicans in Congress are just getting started. We have already seen the results of an America First agenda: historic tax relief for our families, a secured border, and an economy that is working for the people of Western Minnesota again. The state of our union is strong, but our work is not done. I am ready to keep fighting alongside President Trump to protect our rural way of life and ensure the next generation of Minnesotans has every opportunity to thrive!”

Rep. Chuck Fleischmann: “There is no question that the State of our Union is strong under President Trump and @HouseGOP leadership! We are turning the page on discredited Democrat policies that left Americans behind and creating A New Golden Age for America! The BEST is yet to come!”

Rep. Scott Franklin: “President Trump outlined a vision centered on peace through strength, economic growth, and renewed opportunity for the American people. In Florida, we understand peace through strength is not just a slogan. It means supporting our servicemembers, strengthening our military readiness, and ensuring our defense industrial base remains second to none. A strong America deters conflict and protects our freedoms at home and abroad. The president’s commitment to tax relief and pro-growth policies is also critical for Florida families, small businesses, farmers, and retirees. Lower taxes and a stronger economy mean more opportunity, more jobs, and greater security for hardworking Floridians. There is more work to do, and I remain committed to advancing policies that keep Florida safe, grow our economy, support our farmers and expand opportunity across our communities.”

Rep. Russ Fulcher: “Leaving the House floor after listening to President Trump’s powerful State of the Union address. We have accomplished a great deal in the last 365 days—a secure border, historic tax cuts, the re-shoring of American jobs, record energy production, and restored respect on the world stage. America is the greatest nation on earth and tonight affirmed her best days are ahead!”

Rep. Vince Fong: “After four years of decline at the hands of the Biden-Harris Administration, the American Dream is within reach once again with families across the country already seeing real results from policies that put our economy, workers, and safety first. Under President Trump’s leadership these past 13 months, we have taken decisive action to tame inflation, secure our borders, boost wages, grow jobs, unleash American energy, restore peace through strength, and enact historic tax cuts for families and businesses. Our Central Valley deserves relief and opportunity, and with President Trump in office that is what they are seeing… Tonight’s speech was a reminder of how great America is and all that we have accomplished together as a nation. There is still much work to be done, but the state of our Union is undoubtedly strong.”

Rep. Lance Gooden: “Tonight, President @realDonaldTrump delivered a powerful message. Our economy is roaring back, the border is secure, energy has been unleashed, and peace through strength is restoring stability abroad. America’s comeback will only get STRONGER.”

Rep. Brett Guthrie: “Tonight, @POTUS highlighted the historic successes of our country over the past year and outlined the clear next steps that need to be taken on the path toward continued American exceptionalism. From transforming our economy, to securing the border, to unburdening businesses from bloated government mandates, @POTUS demonstrated that America’s best moments truly are ahead!”

Rep. Abe Hamadeh: “What a night! What an inspiring speech! What an incredible honor to serve the hardworking families of Arizona’s 8th Congressional District during this remarkable administration. Let’s Keep Making America Great AGAIN!”

Rep. Pat Harrigan: “Thanks to @POTUS, a 100-year-old American hero, Royce Williams, finally received the Medal of Honor he deserved decades ago, right here in front of me tonight. He took on 7 Soviet pilots, ALONE, and won. God bless you, Sir, and God bless America!”

Rep. Andy Harris: “President Trump delivered a strong State of the Union, laying out a clear vision for America’s future and honoring true American heroes.”

Rep. Mark Harris: “The State of the Union is strong—thanks to President Trump’s leadership. But Congress must get to work. We must reopen DHS. We must secure the border permanently. We must remove criminal aliens. We must pass the SAVE America Act. We must keep America great always.”

Rep. Kevin Hern: “Tonight, President Trump reaffirmed that when we put America first, America wins. At an unprecedented pace, he’s reversed the damage caused by four years of reckless Biden-era policies that sent our nation down the wrong path. Families are now seeing historic tax relief, lower inflation, a secure border, and peace around the world – this is only the beginning. I’m proud to stand alongside President Trump as we continue our work to lower costs, put more money in Americans’ pockets, and strengthen the American Dream for families across the country.”

Rep. French Hill: “President Trump inherited a sputtering economy weighed down by years of reckless spending, excessive regulation, and policies that made life more expensive for hardworking Arkansans. Tonight, he made clear that we are turning the corner, with Republican leadership delivering commonsense solutions to get our economy back on track and restore the American Dream for families across our country. But the job is far from finished. I look forward to working with President Trump and my colleagues in Congress to build on this momentum and fight for policies that expand access to affordable housing and investment opportunities, support our small businesses, and deliver bigger paychecks and lower prices for Arkansas families. I also appreciate the President highlighting America’s upcoming 250th anniversary. This is something every American can take pride in, regardless of party. It is a chance to come together, reflect on how far we have come, and recommit ourselves to ensuring the next chapter of our history is even stronger and more prosperous.”

Rep. Erin Houchin: “President Trump reminded us last night what this country is capable of when we have leadership that fights for working people. Inflation is down, gas is below $3, our borders are secure, and paychecks are going further. @POTUS laid out an ambitious agenda to keep the momentum going. I am proud to stand alongside him as we keep fighting to make sure every working family in this country has a shot at the American Dream.”

Rep. Richard Hudson: “Incredible to join President Donald J. Trump at the State of the Union last night. The most revealing part: watching what Democrats wouldn’t applaud.”

Rep. Darrell Issa: “Thank you President Donald Trump. A President who recognizes heroes, inspires heroes.”

Rep. Brian Jack: “President Trump’s State of the Union address was exceptional. The stories he wove into his speech accentuated our record of achievement over the past year, and the honors he bestowed upon our great heroes captured the essence of what has made our Country the greatest of all.”

Rep. Ronny Jackson: “That was the BEST State of the Union address I’ve ever seen!! President Trump made it clear: America is BACK, prosperous, and respected AGAIN!! This administration is firing on all cylinders and making America GREAT again!! PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT!”

Rep. John James: “Michigan lost 300,000 manufacturing jobs since NAFTA. Businesses closed, factories shuttered, livelihoods shipped out of country. Nobody uttered a peep. Except @POTUS. President Trump is a man of action who is putting American workers, farmers, businesses, & families FIRST.”

Rep. Jim Jordan: “I thought it was the best… Frankly, you didn’t have to say it much in the room or in the chamber. You just felt it. You felt it when the hockey team came in. You felt it when Melania put that around that guy who was in the dogfights in World War II and in the Korean War. You just felt it all throughout the chamber. So, special night tonight. I would say this was the best one that I’ve been a part of.”

Rep. Dave Joyce: “Last night, President Trump highlighted the wins of his administration and the Republican-led Congress for the American people. When President Trump was chosen to lead our country again, he promised to deliver a secure border, economic growth, and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse from our government. Over the past year, the President and Congress have delivered on those promises, securing critical tax cuts for working families across the country, stopping the flow of deadly drugs like fentanyl across our southern border, and cutting bureaucratic red tape to unleash energy production, bolster housing supply, and increase military readiness.  While I am proud of our accomplishments, my colleagues and I know that there is still more work to be done. We must continue to prioritize lowering the cost of living and ensuring that the American Dream is attainable for all our citizens. While the previous administration’s policies slowed growth and set our country back, I am filled with hope and determined to continue this positive momentum from President Trump’s first year in office.”

Rep. Tom Kean: “Tonight, President Trump laid out a vision focused on renewing America’s strength at home and abroad. Over the past year, we’ve worked to grow our economy, cut taxes for the middle class, rein in wasteful spending, and advance policies that lower costs so families here in New Jersey can keep more of what they earn and feel greater financial security.”

Rep. Mike Kelly: “In just his first year back in the White House, President Trump and his America First agenda have restored American greatness both at home and abroad. I was honored to work with the President to craft common sense, pro-growth tax policy in the Working Families Tax Cuts, which are now delivering historic returns for hardworking Pennsylvania families.  America is stronger, more prosperous, and more respected around the world than it was just one year ago. As we look forward to our Nation’s 250th anniversary, I look forward to working with President Trump to address the critical issues facing the American people.”

Rep. Jen Kiggans: “It was an inspiring and patriotic State of the Union speech tonight! Hard to believe how little the democrats stood and clapped while we celebrated America! And to top off the evening our very own governor lied to the entire COUNTRY just as she’s been lying to Virginians. It was quite a night indeed…. Hope you all watched!”

Rep. Young Kim: “Last night @POTUS showed that America is back. Democrats can throw tantrums, but the evidence is clear… America is strong at home & abroad—& we’re just getting started!

Rep. Brad Knott: “@POTUS delivered a masterful, patriotic speech last night. Importantly, he showed the Democrats continue to proudly embrace mass migration, welcoming millions of illegals regardless of the cost to Americans. This reality is fundamentally disqualifying.”

Rep. David Kustoff: “@POTUS, @HouseGOP, & @SpeakerJohnson delivered: lower costs, bigger paychecks, and a secure future! Together, we’re cleaning up Biden’s mess and restoring the American Dream.”

Rep. Darin LaHood: “Tonight, President Trump delivered a State of the Union address that highlighted the victories we’ve secured for the American people and laid a vision of strength for the future of our great nation.”

Rep. Bob Latta: “President Trump’s State of the Union was a reminder that when policies are focused on better outcomes for American families and workers, our country thrives. 

“The American Dream is coming back for working people because the Republican agenda is delivering real results. The Working Families Tax Cuts created a fairer, more efficient tax system, and families are seeing the impact where it matters most: in a stronger economy, bigger paychecks, and more affordable everyday costs. From lower energy bills to a simpler tax-filing process, life is becoming more affordable, and Republicans are leading the way.”

Rep. Mike Lawler: “Last night’s Joint Address by @POTUS was all about highlighting everything we have to be proud of as a county. From securing the border, ending conflicts abroad, tackling the affordability crisis, and recognizing American heroes to our our nation’s Capitol.”

Rep. Laurel Lee: “Tonight, President Trump laid out a forward-looking vision to continue strengthening our economy and expanding opportunity for American families. While we have made meaningful progress, there is more work to do to ensure growth reaches every household and that the momentum continues. For families across Florida’s 15th Congressional District in the Tampa Bay area, I remain focused on building on that progress—lowering costs, supporting small businesses, unleashing American energy, securing our border, and restoring fiscal responsibility in Washington. When we prioritize pro-growth policies, protect our freedoms, and keep public safety at the forefront, we create an environment where hardworking families can thrive. I am committed to continuing that work and delivering results that keep our economy strong and our communities secure.”

Rep. Morgan Luttrell: “The first year of the second Trump Administration has brought back what makes America great — a secure border, a strong military, and a resilient economy.

I look forward to building on the progress @HouseGOP has made and continuing to partner with @POTUS on real policies that lift up our veterans, communities, and fellow Americans.”

Rep. Nancy Mace: “This was the GREATEST State of the Union Address in the history of our nation. President Donald J. Trump IS making America Great Again.”

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis: “Today, @POTUS Donald Trump outlined the clear progress our nation has made this past year. Together, we delivered historic tax relief for working Americans, middle-class families and senior citizens, helping them keep more of their hard-earned money as they begin filing their taxes. With our border secure, less crime in our cities, lower mortgage rates, less inflation, cheaper gas prices, a GDP that’s growing, domestic manufacturing that’s returning, and trillions of dollars in private and foreign investment strengthening our economy, we are fueling job creation, restoring confidence, and putting our nation back on a path of sustained growth. We are undoing the mess created by the Biden Administration and getting our country back on track, and I remain committed to working with the President and my colleagues to continue lowering costs, strengthening public safety, and building on this momentum that’s delivering real results for the American people.”

Rep. Tracey Mann: “Last night, @POTUS delivered a clear message about increasing affordability and putting American families first. We’ve already lowered taxes through the Working Families Tax Cuts, rolled back burdensome regulations, strengthened American energy dominance, and secured our borders. The foundation is set, and the next three years hold tremendous opportunities for continued growth and renewed American strength. Thank you, President Trump, for your leadership.”

From the brink of disaster to strong, prosperous, and respected in just ONE YEAR. The best is still ahead for our working families. God bless President Trump and God bless the United States of America.”

Rep. Mary Miller: “Tonight, President Trump made it unmistakably clear that the State of our Union is strong and growing stronger because we are once again putting America First. Under this administration, we are reversing the destructive decisions of Joe Biden and seeing lower costs, a secure border, American energy dominance, and policies that empower families, farmers, and small businesses across Central Illinois. I look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and my Republican colleagues to build on this momentum and ensure that the American Dream is stronger and more attainable for the next generation.”

Rep. Barry Moore: “As President Trump made clear in his State of the Union address, our country is back on track – we’re once again stronger at home and respected abroad. We’ve secured the border, rebuilt our military, stood shoulder to shoulder with law enforcement, and delivered real relief through President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts that are putting more of Alabamians hard-earned money back in their pockets.  Republicans are focused on defending the rule of law, supporting our workers, and making sure the American Dream is within reach again. I’m proud to stand with President Trump as he leads with conviction and always puts America First.”

Rep. Zach Nunn: “Tonight, President Trump addressed a nation receiving the largest working-class tax relief in history — a nation that has regained control of its borders, restored its energy independence, strengthened its supply chains, and renewed its promise to the next generation. Iowa’s voice and leadership have been at the center of that progress. We’ve led the charge to restore the American Dream of homeownership, deliver certainty for homegrown energy, put more dollars back in working families’ pockets, and hold Washington accountable to Iowa.”

Rep. Andy Ogles: “The State of the Union is STRONG!”

Rep. Bob Onder: “Tonight’s address was a powerful reminder of how blessed we are to live in a nation defined by strength, resilience, and freedom. I am deeply grateful to have witnessed this historic moment firsthand. @POTUS captured what it truly means to put America first, reaffirming his enduring commitment to lead our country into its next historic chapter.”

Rep. Gary Palmer: “Last night’s speech displayed to the American people that, thanks to President Trump’s leadership, America is strong and getting stronger. The American people are seeing the impacts of Republican policies in real time. Seniors are receiving a historic tax cut, Americans are saving roughly $1,500 annually by not paying taxes on tips or overtime, our border is closed and our communities are safer, energy costs are lower, and inflation is going down. The reversal of the Democrats’ regulatory agenda is saving Americans on home appliances and other goods and services. With implementation of the Working Families Tax Cuts, fraud in federal programs is being addressed, Medicaid reforms are ensuring the program is protected for those who truly need it, and the Rural Health Transformation Fund is making historic improvements in meeting the healthcare needs of Americans in rural areas. And the President’s Great American Healthcare Plan is emphasizing price transparency, which will make major strides toward lowering the price of healthcare. Additionally, America is once again respected on the world stage because of President Trump’s commitment to ‘peace through strength.’ As America celebrates the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, we are also celebrating America’s comeback. At 250 years old, our nation is strong, prosperous, and protected, and I pray it remains this way for the next 250 years.”

Rep. August Pfluger: “Tonight, President Trump delivered a powerful address to the nation as America celebrates its 250th year. Our country is stronger than ever before, and that strength is showing up in results. President Trump did what Washington said was impossible, what the media said would never happen, and what radical Democrats prayed he couldn’t do. We have a military that is feared and respected again, a border that is secure again, and families who are finally starting to see relief after years of being crushed by 4 years of Democrat-driven inflation. This is halftime, and the second half is where we finish the job. House conservatives are ready, the agenda is clear, and we are not done fighting for the families who sent us here.”

Rep. Mike Rogers: “As President Trump made clear tonight, America is safer because of the work he has done to strengthen our national defense and modernize our military. As the threats from our adversaries continue to evolve and intensify, it’s never been more important to fulfill his vision of Peace through Strength. I look forward to working with him to meet his goal of increasing defense spending to $1.5 trillion. Americans can rest easier knowing that the state of our union is strong with President Trump in charge. It has never been more obvious that he cares about everyday Americans, and he cares about making our nation strong. The President is ready to make America even greater, and I am ready to help him!”

Rep. David Rouzer: “Tonight, President Trump reaffirmed his bold, visionary agenda for a stronger, more prosperous union. The pro-growth tax, regulatory, and energy policies we have put in place have lowered gas prices and stabilized the cost of living – which had been driven by the rampant inflation stoked by wasteful COVID-era spending. Investment and jobs are returning to America from overseas. We are cutting wasteful spending and rebuilding our military. After four years of open border policies which allowed drug dealers and criminals to enter the United States at their pleasure, our border is finally now secure. But there is more to be done to get our country back on track. I look forward to continuing to deliver on President Trump’s promises to restore American greatness.”

Rep. Chip Roy: “The main message here was the stark contrast between the optimism of President Trump, the direction we want to take the country, and Democrats sitting in their seats refusing to stand up and celebrate this great country. I think it was a clear contrast. President Trump delivered a home run of a message tonight.”

Rep. Mike Rulli: “Tonight’s State of the Union made one thing clear: America is back. Lower inflation. Lower gas prices. Tax relief for working families. A secure border. Strength restored at home and abroad. The State of our Union is strong and getting stronger.”

Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar: “Under Biden, families were squeezed by soaring gas prices and the worst inflation in 40 years. With President Trump and Republican economic policies back in place, gas is at a four-year low and inflation has dropped to its lowest level in years. Now the economy is regaining strength and Americans are finally breathing again.”

Rep. Derek Schmidt: “It was an honor last night to attend @POTUS’s State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. From securing the border, to lower crime rates, to lower taxes for working families and seniors and small businesses, to rolling back overregulation, to getting key parts of the Farm Bill done after years stalled, to enacting 11 of the 12 annual appropriation bills for the first time in 30 years, to reaching new trade agreements with half a dozen trading partners after four years of none, to meeting recruitment targets early for each branch of military service, to providing unprecedented funding for transformative improvements to rural healthcare, to adding reasonable work requirements for able-bodied recipients and squeezing abuse out of public benefits programs…America has come a long way in the right direction in a short time. So much more needs done, but what a difference a year makes!”

Rep. Keith Self: “President Trump’s State of the Union was a masterclass. Our President stands firm in support of our veterans, children, and hard-working Americans alike. The State of the Union is STRONG, and getting STRONGER. GOD BLESS AMERICA.”

Rep. Jefferson Shreve: “Tonight’s State of the Union made one thing clear: America is getting back on track. Inflation is down, jobs are up, and border crossings have fallen — proof that prioritizing growth and American families works.”

Rep. Adrian Smith: “Under President Trump’s leadership, Republicans passed the Working Families Tax Cuts, delivering meaningful tax relief for hardworking Americans across the country. We have seen robust engagement with key trading partners, helping to level the playing field for American farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and workers. Americans have seen lower gas prices, decreased inflation, secure borders, and mortgage rates reach a three-year low. While our work is far from over, I am encouraged by the progress we have made and the direction our nation is headed. I remain committed to working in Congress to build on this progress and ensure that Nebraska’s families, small businesses, and agricultural producers can continue to thrive. Together, we can make the Good Life even better for all Nebraskans.”

Rep. Jason Smith: “Last night, President Trump delivered the strongest State of the Union Address I’ve attended. His bold vision for our nation fosters patriotism, defends American citizens, and will deliver another year of historic results.”

Rep. Lloyd Smucker: “Tonight, President Trump made clear that the state of our Union is strong and growing stronger. Republican policies are putting Americans back in the driver’s seat of their futures, finances, and freedoms. We’re securing our borders, putting more money back in the pockets of hardworking families, and reigniting an economy that suffered under Biden-era failures.”

Rep. Pete Stauber: “President Trump is protecting hardworking taxpayers from their dollars being stolen by fraudsters. We should ALL cheer on President Trump as he takes actions to stop these criminals. #SOTU2026”

Rep. Elise Stefanik: “It was an honor to attend President Trump’s State of the Union where he highlighted the significant results that he has worked with Congress to deliver to the American people including the largest tax cut in history, a secure border, and a peace through strength national security agenda that supports our men and women in uniform. As always, the incredible stories that President Trump shared about the American heroes seated with the First Lady were inspiring. As Co-Chair of the Bipartisan Olympic Caucus and the Representative of Lake Placid where the famed Miracle on Ice took place 46 years ago, my favorite part was honoring the incredible Team USA hockey gold medalists – they are American icons and heroes. America couldn’t be prouder of them. They have continued the extraordinary legacy of the 1980 Miracle team and inspired a nation and a new generation.”

Rep. Bryan Steil: “Tonight, President Trump highlighted a year of promises made, promises kept — securing our border, unleashing American energy, and making life more affordable. We’ve made progress, but there’s more work ahead. I’ll continue advancing commonsense policies that deliver real results for working families and seniors.”

Rep. Greg Steube: “Honored to stand with the greatest President in the history of our country. Thanks to @realDonaldTrump, America is back.”

Rep. Marlin Stutzman: “President Trump is leading the American comeback… His strategic tariffs protect jobs, strengthen our economy, and reduce reliance on countries like China and Mexico. Supporting @POTUS’s tariff policy is supporting American workers and families!”

Rep. Dave Taylor: “Buckeye families know all too well how expensive everyday life can get, and in the past year President Trump has put them first by keeping hard-earned money in their pockets and bringing down the cost of living. With the largest tax cuts for working families our nation has ever seen, a historic investment in health care through the $15 billion Rural Health Health Transformation Program, and the elimination of Biden-era regulations that drove up energy bills and restricted American enterprise, President Trump is making the American Dream affordable again. As our nation celebrates 250 years, there is no better leader than President Trump to lead us toward a safer, more prosperous, and America-First future.”

Rep. Claudia Tenney: “President Trump’s State of the Union made it unmistakably clear: America is back on track and the state of our Union is strong. After years of reckless spending, soaring inflation, open borders, and weak leadership, we are finally restoring strength, stability, and common sense. Inflation has come down dramatically from the Biden-era 40-year high to 2.4 percent, gas prices have fallen to a four-year low, and mortgage rates are easing. Under President Trump, private sector job creation is booming by growing real opportunity for American workers.”

Rep. Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson: “Tonight, President Trump reaffirmed the strength of our great country. From securing our borders, to passing sweeping tax reforms for all Americans, the President has delivered on his promises.”

Rep. William Timmons: “As America approaches the 250th anniversary of our founding, President Trump made clear tonight that our nation is stronger, more prosperous, and more respected because Washington is once again focused on delivering real results for the hardworking men and women who keep this country running.”

Rep. David Valadao: “I was honored to attend President Trump’s State of the Union Address to a Joint Session of Congress. The President spoke about many issues that are critical to families across the country—from lowering costs and strengthening our health care system to expanding economic opportunity for the next generation and protecting our national security. These priorities are especially important to my constituents in the Central Valley, and I look forward to continuing to work with the Administration to meet these goals.”

Rep. Derrick Van Orden: “Holy Bean Bags. @realDonaldTrump just delivered a SOTU for the ages. I am so proud to be an American.”

Rep. Tim Walberg: “Tonight, I heard an important message from President Donald Trump. Our country is reversing course from the failed policies of the previous administration by reining in wasteful spending and costly regulations to offer vital economic relief to Michigan families. We have made unprecedented progress over the past year, including by increasing take-home pay, offering historic tax relief, and unleashing domestic energy production to alleviate the pain at the pump and allow Americans to keep more of their hard-earned dollars. We must continue to deliver and focus our efforts on growing our economy and reducing costs for Michiganders so they can achieve their own American dream.”

Rep. Randy Weber: “Tonight, President Trump laid out a clear vision for the future of our nation. It was a vision grounded in strength, security, affordability, and a revival of American patriotism. What we are witnessing is America reclaiming her strength after years of instability at home and weakness abroad. We are once again prioritizing secure borders, energy dominance, economic growth, and affordable living for all Americans. The President reaffirmed his commitment to rebuilding our military, revitalizing American manufacturing, protecting workers’ wages, and expanding opportunity so families can keep more of what they earn. That commitment matters deeply in Texas’ 14th Congressional District, where energy production, industry, and national security drive both our local economy and our national strength. When the economy is sound, jobs grow and families feel relief at the kitchen table. The State of the Union is strong because of the American people. Resilient workers, small business owners, first responders, and service members power this country forward every day. The work continues, but the path ahead is clear. I remain committed to working alongside President Trump and my colleagues in Congress to ensure Southeast Texas continues to grow, prosper, and lead.”

Rep. Daniel Webster: “250 years ago, America was founded on the principles of faith, freedom and liberty. Tonight, @POTUS reminded us that America remains the greatest nation on earth. The state of our union is strong, and only getting stronger.”

Rep. Bruce Westerman: “Over the past year, the Republican trifecta has delivered commonsense solutions to ease the burdens everyday Arkansans are facing, and we are just getting started. Good governance means focusing on dinner table issues that matter most: cutting burdensome federal regulations, lowering the cost of living, creating stronger borders, and building a thriving economy. Tonight, while President Trump reaffirmed that vision, it is clear that there is still more work to do. I look forward to continuing to work with the Administration and my colleagues in the House and Senate to champion commonsense legislation that prioritizes American families, workers, and values.”

Rep. Tony Wied: “If you watched the speech tonight, you know that President Trump has ignited the Great American Comeback. And we’re just getting started.”

Rep. Roger Williams: “As a border state, Texas has seen the devastation caused by fentanyl and cartels. Thank you, @POTUS, for securing our border and stopping the deadly flow of drugs into our country.”

Rep. Steve Womack: “In the past year, President Trump has achieved measurable progress in securing the border, reducing the flow of lethal drugs into our communities, expanding American energy production, strengthening national security and global leadership, growing our economy and labor market, and easing inflation. There is still work to be done to address years of weak leadership and misguided policy, but if the past year is any indication, we can expect continued transformational efforts aimed at improving the lives of all Americans now and in the years ahead.”

Rep. Rudy Yakym: “An incredible speech from @POTUS tonight. Proud of the progress we’ve made and excited to keep delivering results for hardworking Hoosiers”

Rep. Ryan Zinke: “After years of rising prices and stagnant wages, the economy is moving forward. Inflation is down 2 percent, GDP is up 5 percent, retirement accounts are growing, and American families are keeping more of their hard-earned paychecks. Gas prices dropped to $2.25 a gallon in Montana. The border is secure after years of chaos, with law enforcement empowered to do their jobs and keep our communities safe. The Trump doctrine is in full effect, our enemies once again fear us, and our allies understand we all must bear the burden in the fight for freedom. In just one year, President Donald Trump and the Republican Congress have restored energy independence, strengthened our military, secured our borders, and put more money back in your pocket. Tonight, POTUS laid out why America is back, and we are just getting started.”
