Speaking on CNN, Blackburn said that she was thrilled to see the White House highlight workforce development this week, and hopes the Trump administration will stay focused on governing.

"I was so pleased this week that they talked about workforce development," Blackburn said. "Which is so important, especially when you have a district like mine, with 19 counties, 16 of which are rural."

Blackburn urged Trump to use his powerful Twitter account, with 32.5 million followers, to set the agenda on the work the House is doing.

"We would love for the president to be tweeting about the work that we are doing, and how we are focused on their agenda," Blackburn said.

"The president is going to tweet about what he thinks is important," she added. "We may not always agree on that, but Ana I've got to tell you, we wish the president well, we wish the vice president well, and we wish our country all good success."

Blackburn was a vice chair of Trump's White House transition team, and is considered one of the Trump administration's top allies in the House.

Trump sent a series of tweets this week pushing back on the federal probe into possible ties between his presidential campaign Russia, calling the investigation a "witch hunt."
