Later that day, at 12:59 p.m., Harris commented on the performance of House Speaker Mike Johnson regarding legislative priorities. He wrote: “Speaker Mike Johnson entered the week with the liberal media gloating about how he could never deliver on the three major issues the House had to deal with this week — FISA, funding our border, and our much-needed Farm Bill. He not only delivered all three of these — he also”.
At 1:27 p.m., Harris posted about agricultural land use and renewable energy policy: “We should never allow solar panels to cover prime farmland in America.”
