Congressman Russell Fry, representing South Carolina’s 7th district since 2023, shared his views on recent political developments through a series of tweets. Fry, who succeeded Tom Rice in Congress and previously served in the South Carolina House of Representatives, has been vocal about national issues.
On January 27, 2025, Fry expressed his support for former President Donald Trump. He stated that “President Trump has found more ways to help America in ONE WEEK than Biden did in 1,463 days.” Fry predicted that “in four more years,” the country would be transformed into “a nation of strength, safety, and prosperity.”
Later that day, he commented on the Senate’s confirmation of Scott Bessent as Secretary of the Treasury. Fry tweeted that “The Senate has officially confirmed Scott Bessent, a native of Horry County, as the Secretary of the Treasury.” He praised Bessent as an excellent choice to address what he described as Joe Biden’s strained economy and restore financial stability.
On January 28, 2025, Fry announced the passage of legislation aimed at addressing environmental concerns. He noted that “The House passed the Fix Our Forests Act with overwhelming bipartisan support.” Emphasizing urgency in tackling wildfire-related issues, he stressed there is no time to waste when implementing measures for combating and recovering from catastrophic wildfires.
