Inauguration ceremony of President-elect Donald Trump It will be one of the most transformative moments in our nation's history. Neither the mainstream media, nor the political establishment, nor even an assassin's bullet can stop Donald J. Trump. On Inauguration Day, I will be in Washington representing the great state of Arkansas, and I will cheer as Trump places his hand on a Bible, takes the oath of office, and becomes our nation's 47th president.
For Republican governors across the country, this moment can't come soon enough.
The last four years of the Biden-Harris presidency have been disastrous for our country. When that administration failed, governors had to step up their efforts — on the economy, borders and public safety. We are ready to have a partner and combatant in the White House.
Not long after I took office in 2023, The Biden border crisis has reached its peak With thousands of illegal immigrants crossing into our country every day. Arkansas joined other Republican-led states in sending National Guardsmen to the southern border to help our friends in Texas. I traveled there that summer to thank our guards and get a first-hand look at the Biden border crisis.

What I saw and heard was heartbreaking: National Guardsmen were sweating in 100-plus degree temperatures, enough fentanyl was flowing across our borders to stop every American's heart multiple times over, and migrants — who President Joe Biden is allegedly helping — oftentimes. Dying from exhaustion in the desert.
We will soon have a president who takes border security seriously. Republican governors stand with the next president, ready to remove violent illegal immigrants from our states and keep our country safe.
Biden's failures extend to the economy as well. Under his reckless tax and spending policies, prices rose by more than 20% nationwide. For everyday goods like eggs, milk, rent and gas, inflation has crippled American families.
As a governor, I go into communities All over our state and meeting people who can't really afford these kinds of price increases: the mother who has to skip her dinner just so her kids don't go hungry, the restaurant owner who has to let employees go because food costs are too high, the family who She can't take a vacation this summer because gas prices are too high.
My administration has cut taxes three times to give these families relief, and I am working to phase out Arkansas' personal income tax entirely. But for families who need help today, Trump can help. He promised to cut taxes on hard-working middle-class families and, more importantly, to cut the wasteful spending that led to inflation in the first place.
What excites me most about the new Trump administration is that the American people will finally have a leader in the White House again. Biden took a hostile stance toward state leaders who dared to disagree with his administration.

He tried to rewrite Title IX, allowing men to get women's scholarships and forcing boys into girls' locker rooms. The state of Arkansas sued his administration and won, but we really shouldn't be fighting the federal government on such common-sense issues.
Biden's EPA has been notorious for its regulatory overreach. His bureaucrats, working on computer screens in Washington, tried to regulate factories and businesses in Arkansas out of existence based on shoddy projections and twisted research. Arkansas sued the federal government again. It would be great to have a president who actually understands how to run a business and make decisions about some of the largest employers in our state.

In education, health care, and other key federal spending priorities, the Biden administration has been far more interested in imposing partisan policies than in providing aid to Americans in need. Trump will refocus the federal government back on the people.

About this time eight years ago, my husband, Brian, and I were frantically packing up our house in Little Rock to move our family — including three young children — to Washington so I could start my job in the first Trump administration. Today, I am preparing to go to Washington again, but as sitting governor.
Times change, but my loyalty to President Trump has not. I know that this president has never been better equipped or more prepared to make America great again — and I can promise that Republican governors will be by his side every step of the way.
