Trump on the reconciliation approach: “While I favor one bill, I also want to get everything passed… The border is going to be secure. We’re going to start it immediately… I did it before and we’re going to do it again… I have a lot of respect for Senator Thune… I’m open to either way, as long as we get something passed as quickly as possible.”

Incoming White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair: “Day one is going to be action packed. What you will see is the president work quickly and aggressively to implement the policy he campaigned on: Securing the border, unleashing American energy, getting wokeness out of the military…”

CNN’s Scott Jennings bringing some clarity to the table: “The other thing about this day and about this election that I think is noteworthy and positive is this. It’s not been since 1988 that Democrats have not challenged a Republican win on the floor of the House when trying to count the votes. I have never had an election in my adult professional career in which both sides basically accepted it without too much grumbling. Obviously, ’00 and ’04, Democrats didn’t accept Bush. There were Republicans who didn’t accept Obama. We know Democrats still think Russia stole the election in ’16. We know what happened in 2020. This time around, it seems to me most people have accepted the results of the election. Also, the Electoral Reform Act passed in 2022, clarifying the vice president only has ministerial duty and that’s going to go on without a hitch today. It feels like maybe we have gotten off the slippery slope of one side or the other not accepting the outcome of the election. So, in its totality over the last quarter century, I think that’s a good thing.”
