Hatch Statement on President Trump's Joint Session Address

Statement

Senator Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, the President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate, issued the following statement after President Trump's Joint Session address:

"Tonight, the President delivered a serious speech laying out an ambitious agenda for our country. With Republican majorities in Congress and a new President in office, we finally have the opportunity to deliver for the American people. I am eager to lead the fight for our values and rack up big wins for the conservative cause like fixing our regulatory bureaucracy and putting excellent judges like Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court."

"We also heard a strong case for altering the status quo and bettering the American economy and healthcare system. Whether charting pro-growth tax reform that lowers rates and makes America more competitive in the global economy, ensuring our trade agenda is the best possible for American job creators and innovators, or righting the many wrongs of Obamacare so patients are better served, President Trump presented an ambitious and worthy agenda to the American people and Congress. As we move forward with efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare with patient-centered reforms, and to address our outdated tax code and set a strong trade agenda so it better serves American families and job creators, Republicans will continue to work together in seeking real conservative solutions that will make a positive difference for our future."
