Congressman Mike Simpson, representing Idaho's 2nd district since 1999, has recently shared his thoughts on social media regarding significant political developments. His comments reflect his ongoing engagement with national and local issues.

On January 20, 2025, Congressman Simpson extended his congratulations to Donald Trump upon becoming the 47th President of the United States. In his message, he expressed a warm welcome back to Mr. Trump and concluded with a patriotic sentiment: "Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump, the 47th President of the United States! Welcome back, Mr. President. God bless America! "

The following day, January 21, 2025, Congressman Simpson criticized the Biden administration and the Bureau of Land Management for their handling of the Lava Ridge Wind Project. He highlighted concerns from various communities affected by this initiative and contrasted these actions with those of President Trump: "The Biden administration and the Bureau of Land Management blatantly disregarded the voices of Idahoans, the Japanese American Community, and the Magic Valley community directly impacted by the out-of-touch Lava Ridge Wind Project."

Later that same day, Congressman Simpson reaffirmed his pro-life stance by celebrating an A+ rating on a scorecard from a prominent pro-life organization. He emphasized his commitment to protecting vulnerable populations: "As a life-long advocate for pro-life policies, I am proud to have earned an A+ on @sbaprolife’s scorecard."
