House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, alongside Speaker Mike Johnson, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, and NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson, addressed the media regarding the mandate voters have given to Republicans. Under President Donald Trump and a unified Republican government, House Republicans are set to tackle economic and border issues they attribute to the Biden-Harris administration.

Scalise emphasized the public's demand for change: “Last week, the American people delivered a mandate to this town, to Washington, that they want to fix the problems that have been plaguing families all across this country for the last three and a half years." He highlighted concerns about an open Southern border and rising costs of living as key voter issues.

Scalise criticized Democrats for lacking solutions: “The other side is sitting around, trying to blame themselves and assign blame for what the reason was for their failure. But they still will not admit the real problem why Democrats were rejected at the polls last week."

He outlined plans for House Republicans' agenda under Trump's leadership: “So as we prepare for this unified government...one thing the American people can rest assured in knowing is that President Trump and this Republican majority are already planning to go to work for them on day one in January.” The focus will be on reducing food and energy costs while securing America's borders.

Scalise concluded by emphasizing readiness: "The American people are hungry for it, and they are going to find a Republican leadership ready to work for them so that they don't have to struggle any longer.”
