Washington, D.C. (Tuesday, February 18, 2025) – U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today regarding the confirmation of Howard Lutnick as U.S. Secretary of Commerce:
“The American people handed the Trump Administration a crystal-clear mandate to hit the brakes on President Biden’s reckless spending and runaway inflation. It’s time to provide working families some much-needed relief through commonsense, pro-growth policies that drive investment and get Americans back to work. I’m optimistic that Secretary Lutnick, with his decades of experience in the private sector, will be a valuable partner as Republicans work to reverse the last four years of economic heartache.”
