RNC Chief: Trump Kept His 'Eye on the Prize' in Historic Year One

RNC Chief: Trump Kept His 'Eye on the Prize' in Historic Year One

By    |   Friday, 22 December 2017 11:27 AM EST

Despite the persistent obstruction of Democrats, President Donald Trump "kept his eye on the prize" on the way to a "historically successful first year in office," Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel wrote in a column for Fox News.

McDaniel is the second Trump surrogate in as many days to pen a piece with the theme of Trump's "historic" first year despite the opposition party's obstruction efforts. 

"Since President Trump was elected, Democrats have done nothing but reject, obstruct and resist – kicking and screaming every step of the way," McDaniel wrote. "Yet that has not deterred our president. In fact, he has kept his eye on the prize: prioritizing the very people who put him in office.

"Because of that, he has had a historically successful first year in office," McDaniel wrote.

McDaniel rattled off the myriad accomplishments of Trump's administration, starting with the passage of tax reform, then highlighting growing the military, protecting the southern border and his battle against opioid addiction, among others.

"As we reflect on President Trump’s first year, let this be a reminder that the Democrats who claim to care about us are actually working against us. They push fraudulent narratives to hide President Trump’s real action for the American people," McDaniel wrote.

"They’ve pledged a reckless resistance, whereas President Trump pledges results. Despite their obstruction, the president continues to lead – so here’s to one year down, and many more to go," McDaniel concluded.
