As President Donald Trump gave his first speech to a joint session of the U.S. Congress on Tuesday evening, many elected leaders from both Ohio and West Virginia, all Republicans, praised the president’s vision while the Democratic Party in both states said his actions will impact many hard-working Americans.
Trump addressed both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives Tuesday night in his first joint address since returning to the presidency in January. His speech touched on a number of topics including border security, illegal immigration, tariffs, DOGE, the war in Ukraine and more.

Washington, D.C. – This evening, Congressman Riley M. Moore voted “Yes” on H. Con. Res. 14, the House budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution will allow Congress to begin the Budget Reconciliation process, with the goal of providing much needed funding for border security and extending the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore released the following statement after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to develop a comprehensive strategy on implementing reciprocal tariffs on foreign countries:
Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., told Newsmax on Monday that the globalists are "having a big sad" over President Donald Trump's tariffs because he is not going to allow other nations to keep taking advantage of the United States.
"Thank God we have somebody back in the White House that is actually doing something for the American people," Moore said on "Newsline." "My state, here in West Virginia, we have had countless, countless fentanyl deaths and we know where this stuff is coming from. It's been coming over the Mexican border. Those chemicals are shipped in from China.
"Nobody's been doing anything about it and within 24 hours, President Trump has now gotten the Mexicans to agree to actually do something on their own border with us. It's astounding when you actually care about the American people, what can be accomplished."
House Republicans are unveiling a new bill to clear a path for President Donald Trump to enact his sweeping tariff plans.
First-term Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., is reintroducing the U.S. Reciprocal Trade Act on Friday, which, if passed, would allow Trump to unilaterally make moves on import taxes from both adversaries and allies.
He would be required to notify Congress, however, which could file a joint resolution of disapproval against the moves.



Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore released the following statement after news broke that BlackRock has exited the U.N. backed “Net-Zero Asset Managers Initiative.” This organization acted as an anti-fossil fuel cartel that pressured member companies to abide by frivolous emission standards and boycott the energy industry.
