Rep. Mark Harris: Trump’s New Battle Plan is Boldly Reshaping Washington

Tuesday, April 29, 2025

WASHINGTON, DC — On Tuesday, Representative Mark Harris (NC-8) penned an op-ed in The Washington Reporter highlighting how President Trump’s unconventional leadership style has contributed to a victory-packed first 100 days in office. 

 

Some key quotes are below:

 

  • “For decades, the Left has been operating from a radical progressive playbook that seeks to undermine our traditional American values. The Left launched guerrilla warfare attacks to open our borders, undermine parents, weaponize the government against constitutional rights and conservative institutions, and destroy the pillars of our economy.”

 

  • “From the moment he was sworn into office, President Trump launched a sweeping assault on government waste, fraud, and abuse. For the past 100 days, he has made it clear: doing government differently is the only way to tame the Beltway beast.”

 

  • “One of the worst offenders was the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a branch of the State Department responsible for foreign grants. USAID squandered taxpayer dollars on bizarre pet projects, including millions for an Iraqi version of Sesame Street, a transgender opera in Colombia, and even the distribution of contraceptives and condoms to the Taliban.”

 

  • “Americans are no longer shocked by the daily revelations of government corruption. Politicians have long campaigned on limited government, but until now, it often felt like nothing more than hot air. President Trump has slashed more red tape and rooted out more corruption in just a few days than most presidents have in decades.”

 

  • “Now, Congress must match President Trump's boldness. To secure these victories for the long term, House and Senate Republicans must act. We have a historic opportunity to pass the America First agenda into law, making it far harder for future Democratic administrations to undo President Trump’s achievements with a few strokes of a pen.”
