FORMER REP. MIKE ROGERS: Unite Behind Donald Trump For Secure Borders, Safe Communities, And Economic Prosperity

Today, our country stands at a dangerous crossroads.Families across America are paying up, thanks to Joe Biden Add more than $700 per month For daily necessities, More than 60% of Americans can't afford it Emergency expenses of $500. Egg prices increase by 70%, milk, bread and cereals rose by 16%. Parents work multiple jobs to make ends meet, but they face challenges. Gas volume increased by 55% Just to go to work. Inflation was a relic of his 70s, but it has now become a common term. Since 2020, 30-year mortgage rates have doubled, and the resulting high interest rates are discouraging young families from buying a home.

That's Joe Biden's America. That's why I support Donald Trump for president.

President Trump's leadership and policies worked. The economy was booming with record low unemployment and gas prices below $2.00 a gallon. The southern border was safe, and so were our communities. Our military was the most powerful ever, our allies knew we had their backs, and China and Russia were kept in check.

However, America has been in turmoil since Joe Biden took office as president. Our wide-open borders allow more than 6 million people to cross illegally, and organized gang crime crosses our borders. Detroit suburbs And drugs like fentanyl are prevalent in our communities, killing more than 100,000 Americans each year. Biden's policies threaten the safety of our families. We're in this crisis too, and he's paying $451 billion to deal with this border crisis, which is the equivalent of his 15 years' salary for every teacher and state trooper in Michigan. This is the amount.

Snatchings and carjackings have become commonplace, and towns across the country are reeling from the spread of violent crime. At the same time, our education system focuses on social engineering at the expense of teaching reading, writing, and mathematics. result? Violent crime is skyrocketing, and more than half of high school seniors can't read at a sixth-grade level.

We face real challenges as a nation, but our government is focusing on the wrong things. Biden's federal government mandates the types of cars you drive, bans gas stoves, intentionally raises energy prices, overregulates small businesses, and neglects to educate our children.

Instead of enforcing laws, punishing criminals, and securing our borders, Biden's Justice Department and FBI have targeted school board parents, Catholics, and political opponents. Last month, a radical state court interfered in a political election by removing President Trump's name from ballots. It is up to the voters, not the courts, to decide.

At this crossroads, people should ask themselves two simple questions. Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Are you happy with the direction of our country under Joe Biden? If the answer is no, you are not alone. 75% of Americans I think we are going in the wrong directionand 70% want Biden to retire.

It is clear that America needs a return to strong leadership, and it must happen soon. I have endless hope for America, but I don't have time for on-the-job training or another four years of failure. Time is not on Biden's overwhelming cost increases, which will hurt Michigan's working families and threaten to destroy the American dream.

We all know we can do better. We just did that under President Trump.

The first step to getting America back on track begins with ending Bidennomics and returning to President Trump's leadership and proven policies. In President Trump's America, small businesses thrive, entrepreneurship flourishes, families balance checkbooks, 401k's grow, American ingenuity takes hold, and the economy is stronger than ever. .

It was just a few years ago, and I know we'll do it again now that Republicans have a Senate majority and President Trump is in the White House. We must act quickly. The clock is ticking and American families are struggling. There is no doubt that President Trump will be able to act on behalf of the American people from day one, but we must start now.

Let's come together as Americans and do our part to keep America strong, safe, secure, and prosperous.
