Virginia@: The American People are Ready for Progress

November 8, 2024

Dear Friend,

Welcome back to my Week in Review newsletter. Please remember to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube for regular updates on how I am serving the people of South Carolina!

Congratulations to President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance on their historic victory! I am looking forward to working with this administration, as well as my Senate Republican colleagues, to get our country back on track. The last four years have been disastrous for the American people but I am certain that, together, we will turn things around and build towards a better future.

“The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord.”

Proverbs 21:31

Week in Review

The American People are Ready for Progress

I am always proud to represent the great state of South Carolina, and even prouder to represent a state where the voices of its people are heard at the ballot box. Under the Biden-Harris administration, hardworking Americans struggle to put food on the table, fill up their gas tank, and feel safe within our communities. It’s clear that South Carolinians–and the American people–are ready for progress: progress that prioritizes safety, strengthens our economy, and ensures that everyone has the opportunity to thrive. This incoming administration and Senate Republicans are committed to restoring the security, affordability, and safety for American families. I look forward to making the American Dream attainable again.

Jewish News Syndicate: Senators warn of impending action if UN halts Israel’s participation in General Assembly

November 5, 2024

Eleven senators sent a letter to Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, warning of various actions should a Palestinian effort move forward to remove Israel from the U.N. General Assembly.

“Israel is America’s closest ally in the Middle East, a geopolitically critical region,” the senators wrote on Monday. “The effort to diplomatically isolate Israel is aimed at ultimately destroying the Jewish state, which is both obscene and antithetical to American national security interests.”

Signatories included Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.) Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.).
