It is time to get past the impeachment process and start working on solving problems that concern Americans, Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler told “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday.
"We’re going to put this in the rearview mirror. We’re going to move on. It’s going to be really exciting to hear from President Trump tonight at the State of the Union about his positive agenda,” the Georgia senator said.
Loeffler was appointed just last month and made her first speech on the Senate floor during closing arguments in the impeachment trial on Monday, where she defended Trump and said it should be up to the American people to decide who they want in the Oval Office in the November elections.
Loeffler, who when she joined the Senate raised the number of women in the body to a record 26, told “Fox & Friends” that “As I go around the state in Georgia, [impeachment] isn’t what people want to talk about. They want to talk about jobs, access to health care. Hard-working Georgians are looking for solutions, not us to fight in Washington, and that’s why I’m an outsider coming into Washington, trying to help solve problems for Georgians.”
Asked what she hoped to hear from the president during the State of the Union address on Tuesday night, Loeffler said “I think Americans are going to be so proud to understand that we’re restoring our strength on a world stage. The economy’s never been stronger and the president’s agenda is raising up all Americans.”
