John Roberts: Our nation and party’s futures are bright

As Republicans from around the country gathered in Milwaukee, you could feel the optimism about our nation’s future and the upcoming election in the air. We are thankful that divine intervention saved our nominee, former President Donald J. Trump, from a bullet that was intended to kill him. 

Following the assassination attempt, President Trump’s resiliency showed the entire nation that nothing would stop him from fighting to fulfill his promise to make America great again.  Despite being inches from death and bleeding from his ear, President Trump stood tall and encouraged his supporters to “Fight! Fight! Fight!”. Mr. President, trust me, we will. 

This year’s RNC is a testament to the strength of the Republican Party and our nominee, but it has also shown us that our party’s future is exceptionally bright. Our next generation of Republican leaders stepped to the plate and demonstrated that they are prepared to carry the party into the future.  

None shined brighter than our very own Senator Katie Britt. In addition to being an attorney, Senator Britt is a wife and mother of school-aged children. This gives her a unique perspective in the U.S. Senate and the creditability to speak directly to working parents who are hurting the most under the Biden regime. 

In her RNC speech, Senator Britt masterfully outlined why sending President Trump back to the White House is the only way to get our nation back on the right track. She highlighted how the crippling effects of high inflation are crushing the American Dream, especially for working families. 

Under President Trump, Senator Britt pointed out that Americans experienced the strongest economy in recent memory, with increased wages, stable prices, energy dominance, and a secure border.

She correctly noted that Joe Biden lacks the mental and physical capacity to lead our nation. The Democrats have now acknowledged that President Biden is not capable of running for office, but where have they been for the last four years when his decline was apparent to anyone paying attention? 

Vice President Harris and every other D.C. Democrat are implicated in not only the coverup of Joe Biden’s mental and physical deterioration but also the deterioration of our economy and border caused by the Biden-Harris policies. 

As Senator Britt said, under the Biden-Harris Administration, prices are high, and expectations are low. Since Biden and Harris took office, grocery prices have increased by 21%, electricity costs have increased by 31%, the cost of gas has gone up by 48%, mortgages have doubled, and rent is skyrocketing. 

Senator Britt has also discussed the humanitarian and national security crisis at our southern border. The Biden-Harris Administration has allowed millions of people to enter our nation illegally, including criminals, terrorists, and other bad actors. Drugs have flooded our neighborhoods and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans under their watch. Remember, Kamala Harris was given control of the administration’s border policy and has overseen this disaster as the “border czar.” 

The Biden-Harris Administration has been a disaster for young people, families, and working-class Americans, and another four years of this nonsense will cause irreparable damage to our nation. 

In 2024, Americans have a choice. We can continue our decline, or we can change the direction of our nation and elect a man who has proven he can lead us into a new age of prosperity and reignite American exceptionalism. 

I am confident that my fellow Americans will make the right decision in 2024, and I am excited about the new generation of Republican leaders, like Senator Britt, who will lead us in the years to come.
