@Jim Banks : 我对特朗普总统的政策表示强烈支持，认为其政策，尽管可能带来短期痛苦，但最终将使美国工人受益，并促进经济增长。我来自印第安纳州，该州的制造业和农业将受到关税的影响，但我相信这些影响是暂时的，并且最终将被利好因素所抵消。我支持特朗普总统对政府机构的改革，以及他对减少浪费、欺诈和滥用行为的努力。我还支持特朗普总统对医疗保健政策的改革，以及他对促进健康生活方式的倡议。最后，我相信特朗普总统的减税政策将使工薪阶层家庭受益，而不是损害他们。 @Tara Palmeri : 我就特朗普政府的各项政策，特别是关税、对农业部（USDA）的削减以及对疫苗接种的讨论，向Jim Banks参议员提出了质疑。我还询问了他对埃隆·马斯克在政府中所扮演角色的看法，以及他对MAHA运动的立场。
