HUGE congrats to @DaveMcCormickPA and the entire @TeamMcCormickPA! No one worked harder than everyone on this team, and it all started with the candidate we were representing. Washington better watch out because it’s about to be shaken up!
.@NRSC “Smokes Dem Rival In 2025 Fundraising” 🔥 Out-raised the DSCC by over $8M 🚨 $26M debt from flipping 4 seats & reclaiming the Senate Majority PAID IN FULL in record time 💪More than 26K NEW donors this year 🐘 Grassroots energy is HIGH with 99% of donations under $200
Senate Republicans delivered when it comes to your children’s future. We worked with @POTUS to deliver real results—cutting taxes and keeping America safe.
America is Back! Securing the border, finishing the wall, and passing the Working Family Tax Cuts. Thank you, Senate Republicans, for getting President Trump’s conservative agenda done.
Thrilled to kick off @SenMcCormickPA’s inaugural Pennsylvania Energy & Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh with a fantastic panel on the AI race and how to win it. Thank you to Jon Gray of @Blackstone, Khaldoon Al-Mubarak of @Mubadala, @CarnegieMellon president (and our host!)…
It’s finally here! A very exciting day for Pennsylvania’s future.
Tomorrow in Pittsburgh, I’ll join President Trump, members of his cabinet, dozens of executives and PA leaders—including EQT’s Toby Rice, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Dan Sumner of Westinghouse Electric Company, much of the PA Congressional Delegation, and more at the inaugural…

I have always liked John Thune when we served together in the House and then he went on to the Senate. He did an amazing job as majority leader getting the One Big Beautiful Bill through so quickly. But I am awestruck by his confidence in doing a Big Beautiful Backflip into the…
Fantastic job by @JonHusted and his hardworking team! There should be no doubt that Ohio will remain in Republican hands next November.
Inbox: U.S. Sen. Jon Husted says he raised $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to roughly $1m in the first quarter. The federal campaign finance deadline is tomorrow so more details should be available soon.
Big things are happening this week in PA. Tomorrow, our inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit will showcase all that is great about our Commonwealth and will spotlight incredible investments that will fuel good-paying jobs, energy independence, and the AI…
Pennsylvania has the energy resources, skilled workforce, and research institutions to power America’s AI future. On July 15th, at my inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and AI Summit, @POTUS and I and other PA leaders will show the world how the Keystone State will lead the way.
Waiting for my invite, Wrasse!
Some world-famous suburban Maryland sweet corn and cucumbers. Don’t mind the Paw Patrol bandaid — minor farm injury. #WrasseFarm
unsurprising, but notable: nearly no special coverage of the one-year anniversary of the assassination attempt of Trump at Butler. No Sunday Show specials, no special coverage, no mini-docs, nothing. It’s (D)ifferent…
"Slow-as-molasses"? 🤔 Thune confirmed @POTUS' Cabinet at the fastest pace in 20 years. We confirmed more ambassadors than at similar points in Biden, Trump 1.0, and GWB admins. We're far outpacing confirmations in Trump 2.0 than in Trump 1.0. And total votes? See below.

I’ve become friends with hundreds of my authors but none have the special place in my heart like @ZitoSalena. She is one of the kindest, most generous souls and deserves all the success she is having with her massive bestseller BUTLER, out today.
Thanks to Leader Thune’s success and our generous supporters, we will have the firepower to hold Democrats accountable and expand the Republican Senate Majority in 2026.
NEW: SLF + One Nation have more than doubled their fundraising record for the first half of an off-year — bringing in $85 million Executive director Alex Latcham talked to me about the new era of the super pac with Thune as leader axios.com/2025/07/08/thu…
🚨 🔥 🔥 🚨 Absolutely incredible fundraising haul for @johnthune-aligned organizations @Senate_Fund and @OneNationOrg! Great work by @CoryGardner and @Alex_Latcham_ leading the charge! @LeaderJohnThune is off to a 🔥 🔥 🔥 start in 2025!
Had George Washington moved an inch to his right in Butler in 1754 the French Indian, who took aim at him would’ve changed the course of history. Had President Trump not turned to look at the chart, it would’ve changed the course of modern history. No deal for the steel workers,…
( @realDonaldTrump - Truth Social Post ) ( Donald J. Trump - Jul 03, 2025, 7:19 PM ET ) Very proud of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who worked around the clock to get the “ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT” approved in the Senate. He is tough, smart, and knows how to GET THE JOB…
Boom 💥
Another underrated part of the Big Beautiful Bill victory for Republicans is how @LeaderJohnThune called his shot like Babe Ruth in an interview with me published way back on APRIL 30. He said THEN they’d get the bill to @realDonaldTrump desk by July 4 and he delivered!
Congratulations to @POTUS for putting his vision into action and to Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson for putting so much of that agenda in one bill: ✅ Tax Relief ($2,200 child tax credit, doubling standard deduction, no tax on tips & no tax on overtime) ✅ Seal the Border and…
Passing this bill and advancing this agenda has always been a team effort. @SenateGOP, @HouseGOP, and @POTUS are committed to creating a safer, stronger, more prosperous America, and this once-in-a-generation bill will accomplish it. Time to get this signed! 🇺🇸
One Nation polling🧵Americans support President Trump’s budget plan by 4-points, growing to 10 POINTS when voters hear how it: - puts more $ in their pockets - cuts taxes on tips & overtime - helps w/raising a family as childcare costs grow - helps w/owning a car or buying a home
