Thank you @realDonaldTrump for swiftly approving North Carolinas emergency declaration ahead of #HurricaneIsaias making landfall. North Carolina will now be able to utilize federal resources to supplement our state and local efforts.

The Senate just passed a bill to expand Opportunity Scholarships. Every Democrat but one voted no. The same people who claim to care about "equity" don't want low-income kids to attend private schools reserved for the wealthy. We should fund students, not systems. #ncpol
.@realDonaldTrumps leadership in Washington helped put North Carolina on the right trajectory to defeat COVID-19. Armed with more than $4 billion in CARES Act funding North Carolina addressed immediate needs and jump-started the recovery process. https://t.co/gM2vIeKpMB
Excited to hear President Trumps announcement that North Carolina will receive 3,150,000 rapid point-of-care tests from the federal government, free of charge. Hoping that @NC_Governor will use these to help reopen businesses & schools in the state. #ncpol #NCGA https://t.co/JZ1pdL7bRh
Today I joined @realDonaldTrump during his tour of the @FUJIFILMDiosyn Biotechnologies' Innovation Center in Morrisville. Scientists at this facility are working on a #COVID19 vaccine from @Novavax which was awarded a $1.6 billion contract under #OperationWarpSpeed. #ncpol #NCGA
I joined leaders from every state in the country to send the below letter on Judge Barrett's confirmation. We believe that Judge Barrett, and the people of this great nation, deserve serious discussions about judicial philosophy and qualifications, rather than politics. #ncpol https://t.co/rbi8gVQMFB
The #USMCA provides the U.S. with greater access to Canadas dairy, poultry, and egg markets. The independent International Trade Commission estimates that, as a result of USMCA, U.S. agricultural exports to Canada and the rest of the world would increase by $2.2 billion. #ncpol https://t.co/y1Dczp00Eq
Judge Amy Coney Barrett is highly qualified and will uphold the Constitution. She is well respected and will make history as the first mother of school-aged children on the Supreme Court. I look forward to her confirmation process happening promptly.
Today, #NCGA leaders urged the Commission on Presidential Debates to host an additional debate in early September in North Carolina. North Carolinians will be the first voters casting a ballot for the presidential election and it is imperative that we hear from both candidates. https://t.co/bwqY7ej2uQ
An indication of how far North Carolina has come is @markrobinsonNC, our first black Lt. Governor presiding over tonight's State of the State. An indication of how far the NC Democratic Party has to go is the Democratic Gov’s failure to recognize him during the speech. #ncpol
