Scalise attributed his endorsement to Trump's successful track record during his presidency, stating, "American workers and families were thriving."
Scalise elaborated on the prosperous state of the nation under Trump's leadership, highlighting the robust economy, low interest rates, affordable grocery costs, and the accessibility of homeownership for families. He also pointed out the secure state of the border and the reduction in crime rates, attributing these to Trump's secure energy policies that kept gas and utility prices low.
In contrast, Scalise criticized President Biden's administration for plunging the country into chaos, with soaring costs that burden hardworking taxpayers. He pointed out the adverse economic indicators under Biden's administration, including doubled gas prices, record low housing affordability, doubled mortgage rates, the highest inflation in four decades, and the highest interest rates in 22 years.

Scalise further underscored Trump's accomplishments during his first term, contrasting them with Biden's failures, particularly in the areas of illegal immigration and border security.

Scalise expressed his pride in endorsing Trump for the 2024 presidential race and his eagerness to collaborate with Trump and a Republican House and Senate to alleviate the struggles of families under Biden's failed policies.

In response to Scalise's endorsement, Sarafina Chitika, the press secretary for the Democratic National Committee, accused House Republicans of transforming the House into an extension of Trump's campaign. She criticized Scalise for his commitment to Trump's unpopular agenda, including his vote against certifying the 2020 election, his staunch opposition to abortion, and his collaboration with Trump to undermine Americans' healthcare.
