Congratulations to Indiana State Senator Chris Garten, who I was proud to ENDORSE, on being unanimously voted by his colleagues to be the next Senate President Pro Tempore for the State Senate of Indiana! This finishes off my working against Political Leaders in the State Senate who let our Country down. If they did what they should have done, and what every other State did, as requested, we would have had two more seats in the House of Representatives! Chris led this effort for me, along with Trevor De Vries, Brian Schmutzler, Blake Fiechter, Tracey Powell, Paula Copenhaver, and Michelle Davis, who all beat their Opponents. Thank you also to Brenda Wilson. She’ll be back next time where there won’t be two Candidates running with the exact same name, a dirty trick! Rod Bray should resign from Office because he has no chance of winning. Indiana was the only State this happened with, and I won it six times, in LANDSLIDES, including with the Highest Vote in the History of the State. Remember, Bray was responsible for us not having TWO additional Seats, for the Republican Party, in the House of Representatives.
The Indiana State Senate is in good hands with Chris Garten — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

In April, I signed a very important Executive Order to accelerate medical treatments for serious mental illness — Specifically, psychedelic drugs, including IBOGAINE. This is something that has helped so many of our amazing VETERANS and true American Heroes who were here in the Oval Office with me, and Joe Rogan. Today I am announcing that Secretary Kennedy has received a Historic Gift from the University of Miami, who has given the Federal Government its original 1994 Ibogaine Investigational New Drug application. This will give everyone direct access to the foundational FDA authorization to accelerate its development as a medical treatment in the U.S. This is HUGE! Special THANK YOU to the University of Miami, who has done this to ensure that Americans are helped as quickly as possible. This adds to the INCREDIBLE PROGRESS since April, including huge amounts of HHS research funding, collaboration between HHS and VA, FDA guidance, and more. We are moving FAST, so that our Veterans with serious mental illness have a RIGHT TO TRY here in the U.S. We hope to see more companies and institutions join us in this very important work. Our Veterans DESERVE it! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
