Senator Banks Statement on President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union AddressTuesday, February 24, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Today, Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) released a statement following President Trump’s delivery of the 2026 State of the Union.
Senator Jim Banks:“Great way to kick off America 250 with a strong State of the Union Address by President Trump. And it was made even better by having the USA Men’s Hockey Gold Medal Champions in the audience.
In just over a year, President Trump has secured the border, enacted the largest tax cut in history for working families, fixed the military recruitment crisis, deported over 600,000 illegal immigrants, and restored law and order to our streets.
The United States is once again respected on the world stage. We are strong, focused, and putting America First.
At 250 years old, America isn’t slowing down. We’re gearing up. And President Trump is just getting started.”
