The inauguration of newly elected President Donald Trump will be one of the most transformative moments in our country’s history. Not the mainstream media, not the political establishment, not even an assassin’s bullet could stop Donald J. Trump. On Inauguration Day, I will be in Washington representing the great state of Arkansas, cheering as Trump places his hand on the Bible, takes his oath of office and becomes our nation’s 47th president.
For Republican governors across the country, this moment couldn’t come soon enough.
The last four years of the Biden-Harris presidency have been disastrous for our country. Where that governance failed, governors had to take action – on the economy, the border and public safety. We are ready to have a partner and a fighter in the White House.
BIDEN DHS EXEMPTED THOUSANDS OF IMMIGRANTS FROM TERROR-RELATED ENTRY RESTRICTIONS IN FY 2024
Not long after I came to power in 2023, Biden’s border crisis reached its peak, with thousands of illegal immigrants entering our country every day. Arkansas joined other Republican-led states in sending National Guardsmen to the southern border to help our friends in Texas. I traveled there that summer to thank our Guardsmen and see firsthand the Biden border crisis.

What I saw and heard was heartbreaking: National Guard soldiers sweating it out in temperatures over 100 degrees, enough fentanyl flowing across our border to stop every American’s heart many times over, and the migrants — who supposedly killed President Joe Biden helped – were often dying of exhaustion in the desert.
We will soon have a president who takes border security seriously. Republican governors are aligned with the incoming president, ready to drive violent illegal immigrants out of our states and keep our country safe.
Biden’s failures also extend to the economy. Under his reckless tax and spending policies, prices rose by more than 20% nationwide. For everyday items like eggs, milk, rent and gasoline, inflation has crippled American families.
As governor, I go into the communities around our state and meet people who really can’t afford these kinds of price increases: the mother who has to skip her own dinner so her children don’t go hungry, the restaurant owner who has to let go of workers because food costs are rising so much, the family who spends this summer can’t go on holiday because petrol prices are so expensive.
My administration has cut taxes three times to provide relief to these families, and I am working to responsibly eliminate the personal income tax in Arkansas. But for families who need help today, Trump can provide a solution. He has promised to cut taxes for hard-working, middle-class families and, most importantly, he has promised to cut the wasteful spending that caused inflation in the first place.
What I’m most excited about in a new Trump administration: The American people will finally have a leader in the White House again. Biden took an antagonistic stance toward state leaders who dared to disagree with his administration.

He tried to rewrite Title IX, which allowed men to take women’s scholarships and forced boys into girls’ locker rooms. Arkansas sued its government and won – but we really shouldn’t have to fight the federal government on such common sense issues.
Biden’s EPA was infamous for regulatory overreach. His bureaucrats, operating on computer screens in Washington, tried to wipe out factories and businesses in Arkansas based on shoddy projections and distorted research. Arkansas sued the federal government again. It will be great to have a president who actually understands how to run a business and makes decisions about some of our state’s largest employers.

On education, health care and other key federal spending priorities, the Biden administration was far more interested in enforcing partisan politics than in getting help to Americans in need. Trump will turn the federal government’s attention back to the people.

About this time eight years ago, my husband Bryan and I were frantically packing up our Little Rock home to move our family — including three small children — to Washington so I could start my job in the first Trump administration . Today I am preparing to go to Washington again, but as a sitting governor.
Times change, but my loyalty to President Trump does not. I know this president has never been better equipped or more willing to make America great again – and I can promise that Republican governors will be by his side every step of the way.
