‘This week, even more of our colleagues have had the opportunity to meet with Judge Kavanaugh. I’m sure they’ll agree that it’s hard not to come away impressed… Of course, that hasn’t stopped far-left special interest groups from grasping at straws and trying to smear this nominee any way they can. They don’t seem to care whether it’s honest or not. They don’t seem to care whether it’s accurate or not. The latest made-up controversy is an attempt this week to make hay out of comments Judge Kavanaugh made about the long-ago expired “independent counsels” statute.’

‘This week, I’ve discussed a number of converging reports that highlight the strength of this economy for middle-class families and job creators. U.S. retail sales just increased for the fifth consecutive month. Earlier this year, consumer confidence hit its highest level since 2000. ‘More than a million new jobs already created in 2018. More job openings than job seekers for the first time in more than fifteen years. Over 95% of U.S. manufacturers reporting confidence in their companies’ outlook -- an all-time high. And just this morning, this announcement from the Department of Labor: In the second week of July, new claims for unemployment benefits fell to their lowest level since 1969.’

‘Analysts also point to the business side of tax reform, which is letting more U.S. employers expand and hire. That means more jobs for American workers. Which means more income for American families. Which means more money in the cash registers of American small businesses. And the virtuous circle goes on. The American people, and most fair observers, are marveling at what our economy is delivering to workers and middle-class families.’
