Oh, look—another Trump-backed Republican is thriving in the swamp. And not just surviving, mind you, but actually doing something. What a concept.
While the media hyperventilates over brunch photos and blue-check hashtags, Senator Jon Husted is rolling up his sleeves and getting to work. Imagine that—someone in Washington focused on results instead of retweets.
Three months in, and Husted isn’t there to warm a chair or flirt with MSNBC producers. No, he was appointed by Governor Mike DeWine to fill JD Vance’s seat—who, in case anyone missed it while screaming about “democracy dying,” is now Vice President of the United States.
And just like Vance, Husted isn’t interested in playing by the old D.C. rules. He’s walking into the Senate with the full-throated backing of Donald J. Trump, a man whose endorsements don’t just move polls—they make careers. Ask JD. Ask Bernie Moreno. Ask the dozen or so Democrats still in therapy over 2024.
Trump called Husted’s appointment a “complete and total endorsement,” and for good reason. This isn’t some random Ohio bureaucrat with a LinkedIn full of buzzwords—this is a guy who’s been in the trenches of Ohio politics for decades.
I am honored to have President Trump’s endorsement and his complete trust to always fight for Ohio and to put America First as I serve in the U.S. Senate.
I will work diligently with him and his team to secure our borders, champion American innovation, restore prosperity to the… pic.twitter.com/jRGNxgeFrC

He’s won statewide office four times. He knows the voters, he knows the issues, and more importantly, he knows what it means to actually get things done. And now, with the backing of the MAGA movement and a Senate majority that didn’t come cheap, he’s hitting the gas pedal in D.C. like it’s the backstretch at Daytona.
He’s already diving into Trump’s legislative priorities, and it’s not fluff. We’re talking about real action—fortifying the border, preserving tax cuts, and cracking down on criminal illegals who, let’s be honest, should’ve been booted years ago. This isn’t theoretical “let’s-form-a-commission” stuff. It’s policy with teeth. And Husted is the guy with the bite to match the bark.
But the pièce de résistance? His crusade against bureaucratic bloat. Ohio trimmed five million words from its regulatory code under Husted’s guidance—five million. You know what that means? That’s five million fewer roadblocks for small business owners and middle-class families just trying to make a living without some D.C. desk jockey breathing down their neck.
Now he wants to take that same ax to the federal code, and honestly, it’s about time someone did. If Washington ran a factory, the assembly line would collapse under the weight of its own HR policies. But hey, at least the fonts would be inclusive.
And let’s not forget the man’s message: Made in America starts with Made in Ohio. It’s not just a slogan—it’s a blueprint for reclaiming the manufacturing backbone that the left gutted in favor of foreign handshakes and cheap overseas labor. While liberals were busy apologizing for American exceptionalism, Husted’s talking about restoring it.
The Democrats will no doubt find someone to run against him—probably a career activist who thinks solar panels can replace steel mills and that border enforcement is “problematic.” Good luck with that. Husted isn’t just campaigning—he’s governing.
And in a Senate that actually has a Republican majority (finally), he’s not here to “reach across the aisle” and get played. He’s here to push forward, carry Trump’s torch, and bring a little Ohio steel to a city built on sand.
So, while the usual suspects keep wringing their hands over “authoritarian vibes” and Elon Musk’s Twitter memes, Jon Husted is doing what the American people actually want: working for them. And with Trump in his corner and a clear vision on his desk, it’s safe to say—2026 might be the year the GOP gets a whole lot louder in the Senate.
