Republican Makes Bold Trump Prediction
Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), the Senate Majority Whip, recently expressed confidence that President-elect Donald Trump will waste no time in implementing his agenda once he is inaugurated for a second term. During an appearance on CBS News’ Face the Nation, Barrasso previewed the coming weeks, highlighting the Senate’s role in confirming Trump’s Cabinet picks and setting the stage for a bold second-term agenda.
“The rubber hits the road this week with all of these hearings on the Cabinet,” Barrasso explained, referring to the confirmation process for Trump’s key Cabinet members. He made it clear that the real action will begin next Monday when Trump assumes office, predicting a “blizzard of executive orders” aimed at jumpstarting the economy and securing the nation’s borders.
Barrasso believes President Trump will push forward with several high-priority initiatives, many of which are expected to be contentious but align with the president’s promises to his base. Trump has signaled that he plans to prioritize border security, including potentially ramping up deportations. While some critics question the logistics of such measures, Barrasso stands behind Trump’s commitment to enforce immigration laws. Additionally, Trump has hinted at pardoning individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol breach—a move that will undoubtedly stir debate but fits with his stance on restoring order and justice.
Barrasso made it clear that his role in supporting Trump’s agenda is critical. He emphasized his full support for the president’s Cabinet nominees, noting that he has met with many of them personally. “As the Senate Whip, my job is to make sure they get across the finish line and onto the job,” Barrasso said. He also warned that he is prepared to work tirelessly to ensure Democrats do not hinder the confirmation process, vowing to fight back if needed to deliver on Trump’s vision for the country’s future.
