Barrasso emphasized the \u201cbreathtaking\u201d progress made in areas such as border security, rapid Cabinet appointments, and alleviating costs, as discussed on *Fox News*. He urged Congress to focus on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vulnerable-virginia-democrats-get-boost-to-defend-seats-in-special-elections\/\" title=\"Vulnerable Virginia ... get boost to defend seats in special elections\">upcoming legislative agenda<\/a>, particularly regarding budget reconciliation to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">prevent significant tax increases proposed<\/a> by the Democrats. Barrasso stated that failure to act could led to significant cuts to tax credits and increased government spending, which he argued woudl adversely impact American families. He called for a unified Republican effort to ensure that more money stays in people\u2019s pockets and to prevent high taxes and government expansion from taking root.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Barrasso touts Trump&rsquo;s &lsquo;pace and progress&rsquo; in first 100 days: &lsquo;Breathtaking&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2112391\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Sen. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/john-barrasso\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">John Barrasso<\/a> (R-WY) dismissed criticisms of President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s first 100 days in office and pointed to &ldquo;the progress made.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Barrasso came to Trump&rsquo;s defense amid polls from the&nbsp;<em>Washington Post<\/em>,&nbsp;CNN, and the&nbsp;<em>New York Times<\/em>, which showed Trump&rsquo;s approval rating below 40%.
