Senator Jim Banks, a U.S. Senator from Indiana, recently used his social media platform to express support for President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Banks' posts highlighted the administration's ongoing efforts in both foreign policy and military affairs.
On September 29, 2025, Banks referred to Trump as "The Peace President: President Trump continues to work around the clock to bring peace to the Middle East."
The following morning, September 30, 2025, Banks commented on a speech delivered by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth: "This morning’s speech from @SecWar Pete Hegseth is inspiring and much needed after four years of political nonsense from Joe Biden and Lloyd Austin." In this statement, Banks contrasted the current administration with that of former President Joe Biden and former Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
Shortly thereafter on the same day, Banks continued his praise for both Trump and Hegseth: "I couldn’t be more proud of our Secretary of War and Commander in Chief. President Trump has already significantly increased military recruitment & morale. @SecWar’s speech this morning was very substantive and his directives are thorough to restore leadership and standards."
Jim Banks has served as a U.S. Senator representing Indiana since January 2025. Prior to his Senate tenure, he was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for Indiana's 3rd congressional district.
