In fact, no state that didn't vote for Donald Trump has received a dollar of federal disaster relief since he's been the president of the United States.

You know, I think that the people of my state are seeing the impacts of rising prices on everything.

Energy is up.

Beef is up.

The price of steel, aluminum are up because of these tariff prices and tariff policies.

So I think the people, while they elected Donald Trump last November, I think there's, in November 24, I think there's a lot of people who are wondering why the policies that he talked about on the campaign trail, that those are not the things that he's focusing on since he's become the president.

Well, no, I think President Biden made the right decision not to run.

Do I wish that the people who are close to him and around him would have advised him earlier to do that?

I do.

But I also know that the person who I saw as president was someone who stood by us in our darkest hours, where when a ship the size of three football fields

Flams into the Key Bridge.

And at 2 or 2 in the morning, my phone rings.

And immediately, I'm putting the state on a state of emergency.

We're on the phone with first responders.

We're on the phone with local jurisdictions.

I know that we are now hours away from our state waking up and realizing we had one of the most tragic moments in our state's history.

And my phone rings.

And it's the President of the United States.

And hearing the president of the United States say to you, we're going to be with you every step of the way, that mattered.

And he was.
