The Harris-Walz ticket is the most radical and liberal presidential ticket in history. We can’t turn the country into California. Vote Trump-Vance.

I want to thank Republicans in South Dakota for supporting my Senate candidacy, and I look forward to continue putting South Dakota's interests on the national agenda and stopping Biden's radical, left-wing crusade.

Excellent choice by President Trump selecting @JDVance1 to serve as VP. I've worked with J.D. for years & I've seen his commitment to serving the American people firsthand. He will be a key partner to a Senate Republican majority in reversing the dangerous Biden-Schumer agenda.

Democrats believe we can tax our way to prosperity. I disagree. Cut taxes. Get government out of the way. And watch what happens. Watch my latest ad to learn why I voted "No" on Biden's Inflation Reduction Act.

Something has gone horribly wrong when scenes on college campuses are reminiscent of 1930s Germany. The Democrat-controlled Senate may tolerate it, but a Republican-controlled Senate will not.

Whether it’s Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or someone else, it doesn’t matter who’s at the top of the ticket. The Democrat Party is synonymous with higher prices, open borders, and global instability. The American people want a change. Republicans will deliver it this November.
