McConnell Proud to Confirm Bessent as Treasury Secretary

Washington, D.C.
–
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today regarding the confirmation of Scott Bessent as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury:
“The American people voted resoundingly to return to commonsense, pro-growth policies after four years of reckless spending and runaway inflation under the Biden Administration. Scott Bessent’s sharp financial foresight and private sector expertise will be immediate assets to the President as his Administration gets to work on urgent tax reform and widespread regulatory relief. Secretary Bessent is the right choice to get our fiscal house back in order, and I look forward to working with him in the years ahead.”
