WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) released the following statement after the Senate’s vote to acquit President Donald Trump on charges of impeachment:

“Last night at his State of the Union address, President Trump outlined the historic success our country has seen over the past three years. Thanks to the President’s foreign policy and decisive military action as Commander in Chief, this country and the world are safer. Unemployment is at a historic low while median household income is at the highest level ever recorded. In Missouri, 56,000 new jobs have been created since 2017 and families are taking home and keeping more of their money. As the President said, the state of our union is stronger than ever before.

“One can only imagine how well America would be doing had Democrats not been solely focused on fighting the President at every turn for the last three years. With impeachment being their ultimate goal since the day the President was sworn into office, the country had to endure over two years and millions of dollars wasted on the failed Mueller investigation only to be saddled with another desperate attempt to oust President Trump that finally ended today. Instead of incessantly trying to overturn the 2016 election, hopefully my colleagues can finally focus on the real reason they were elected and start working for the American people.”
