Scoop: Senate GOP's 100-day victory lap focuses on the border

• "I don't need to tell anyone what things were like at our southern border under the last administration," Thune will say, according to excerpts first viewed by Axios. "It was chaos."
• "President Trump promised that he would put an end to the Biden border crisis and restore order and respect for the rule of law," he will continue. "And in just 100 days, he has delivered to an incredible degree."

Zoom in: "Americans want secure borders. We are delivering them. Illegal crossings hit a record low last month," Barrasso will say, according to excerpts provided first to Axios.

• "Americans want affordable energy. We're making it easier to produce American energy."
• "Americans want jobs. We've created more than 450,000 jobs in 100 days. Americans want affordable prices. Prices fell in March for the first time in five years."

• "Americans want peace through strength. We're restoring it. Ask the Houthi terrorists. They feel our resolve. Americans want common sense. We're fighting for it."

What to watch: Barrasso will also nod to the sweeping budget reconciliation package being furiously worked on, with a new deadline of July 4th.

• "In the next 100 days, Republicans will continue to fulfill our promises. We will stop Democrats' $4 trillion tax hike... We will cut crippling regulations... We will strengthen our border by providing law enforcement needed resources. Our agenda puts America first," Barrasso will say.
