U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. of Kansas contributed an op-ed in Newsweek, reflecting on President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. Senator Marshall praised what he described as considerable achievements of the new administration.

According to Marshall, "In just 100 days, we have witnessed one of the most productive presidential administrations in modern history. Trump has already signed more than 140 executive orders, issued more than 40 proclamations, and authored more than 30 memorandums—far surpassing the number of actions many presidents have taken throughout their entire administrations."

Despite ongoing challenges, Marshall noted strong public support for President Trump. "Despite relentless criticism from the mainstream media, radical judges blocking the president’s actions, and Democrats in disarray, the American people stand strongly behind the president’s America first vision."

Marshall highlighted data showing increasing public optimism, attributing it to Trump's policies. "Recent polling from RealClear Politics shows an 11-point surge in optimism since January 2025—a clear sign the American people believe the country is back on the right track. That’s because Trump is delivering on the promises he made."

Addressing the administration's efforts on border security, Senator Marshall stated, "Trump campaigned on many critical issues, but none were more pressing than the promise to secure our border and make American families safer. Under the Biden-Harris administration, illegal crossings surged to more than 15,000 per day. That number has now dropped to fewer than 200 per day, and more than 130,000 violent criminals and illegal immigrants have been deported."

Marshall concluded with a call to action for Congress, saying, "That is the promise of the America-first agenda made manifest. If we want this legacy to last, Congress must do its part to codify this progress and ensure Trump’s next 1,300 days are as impactful for the American people as his first 100."
