(The Center Square) – Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Republican governors are doing the job Joe Biden refuses to do in her speech at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday.
“We’ve deployed the National Guard to the border. We’ve cracked down on crime and drugs. We cut taxes to give hard-working Americans a break from ‘Bideninflation.’ And we empower parents with universal school choice across the country,” Sanders said.
Arkansas lawmakers passed the LEARNS Act during the 2023 legislative session, which gives parents what are called “education freedom accounts” to attend the school of their choice. A recent attempt to amend the law via a constitutional amendment did not garner enough signatures to appear on the November ballot.
Sanders said former President Donald Trump was the first president in her lifetime to take a hard line against China.
“And I’m proud to be the first and only governor in this country to kick Communist China off our farmland and out of our state,” Sanders said.
Lawmakers passed a bill that prevents foreign ownership of agricultural land in Arkansas. One company was fined $280,000 for failing to disclose its ownership of 160 acres in Craighead County and must divest its land, according to previous reports.
Sanders said “God intervened” when a bullet grazed Trump on Saturday during an assassination attempt.
“God spared President Trump from that assassin because God isn’t finished with him yet,” Sanders said. “He isn’t finished with America yet either. With God as our Guide, and President Trump back in the White House, we will show the world that America is the place where freedom reigns and liberty will never die.”
