Elected with A Mandate

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CISNEROS. Mr. Speaker, President Trump was elected with a mandate to improve the daily lives of hardworking Americans, a mandate to lower housing costs, make groceries more affordable, and help families get ahead and stay ahead.

Let's take a moment to highlight what the President has done for the people during his first week in office: ended birthright citizenship, a guaranteed right under the 14th Amendment; terminated diversity, equity, and inclusion programs; withdrew the United States from the Paris agreement; renamed the Gulf of Mexico; raised the cost of prescription drugs for seniors on Medicare and Medicaid; pardoned 1,500 convicted felons who stormed our Capitol and violently assaulted our police officers on January 6, 2021; and created a special fake department for shadow president Elon Musk.

Wait. None of those executive orders lowered costs, let alone meaningfully improved the lives of the American people.

I urge the President to stop treating the White House like his Twitter account and get to work fixing the problems he was elected to solve.
