Congressman Jared Golden, representing Maine's 2nd district, has shared his thoughts on recent political developments via social media. His statements reflect his perspectives on national unity and immigration policy.

On January 20, 2025, Golden extended congratulations to President Trump following his inauguration. He expressed a bipartisan sentiment stating, "No matter who you are, where you live or what political views you hold, all Americans root for our country’s success." Golden emphasized his willingness to collaborate with the new administration when possible to enhance the lives of Mainers.

The following day, January 21, 2025, Golden addressed border security issues. He highlighted the potential impact of Congress mandating executive enforcement of the Remain in Mexico policy. According to Golden, this action would allow Congress to "secure the border and reassert its policymaking responsibility on this issue — regardless of who’s in the White House."

In a concurrent post on January 21, 2025, he discussed challenges at the southern border. Golden pointed out that without policies like Remain in Mexico, operational control deteriorates leading to overwhelmed communities and complications for legitimate asylum seekers. He stated that "Americans have seen how operational control of the southern border deteriorates without tools like Remain in Mexico."
