He credited former President Donald Trump for standing with him and for making late calls “helping get those final votes.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Well it certainly wasn't pretty, but we got the job done. It took extra innings, but we won by a run. Let's enjoy it and be glad the speaker isn't Hakeem Jeffries. Now it's time to go to work and remove as much leftism as possible from our country.
