The Missouri Republican Party’s Lincoln Days event saw U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt deliver a strong message in support of President Trump, stating that neutrality is not an option in the current political climate. Fellow U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley also expressed relief that Trump was back in office, emphasizing the need to save the soul of the country. Despite ongoing controversies surrounding Trump’s second administration, Missouri Republican leaders remain firmly on his side.
While some challenges have arisen, such as backlash over federal job cuts and tariffs, attendees at Lincoln Days praised Trump for his executive orders on immigration and tax cuts. Hawley stressed the importance of not cutting benefits for working-class individuals who qualify for Medicaid, while Republicans are considering ways to save money without impacting benefits.
Lawmakers like U.S. Rep. Bob Onder and U.S. Rep. Jason Smith highlighted the need for efficiency in government while maintaining essential services. Governor Mike Kehoe emphasized the alignment of Trump’s policies with the values of Missourians, particularly in rural parts of the state where Trump remains popular.
Looking ahead, Republicans are focused on delivering tangible policy accomplishments and avoiding drastic cuts that could negatively impact Medicaid recipients. As Missouri Republicans navigate the complexities of Trump’s presidency, the party remains committed to working together to prioritize the interests and values of the state’s residents.
