Vice President Pence touted President Trump’s first six months in office, saying he has delivered his agenda at a “historic pace” and that he is “just getting started.”

“At a historic pace, this president has taken bold action to restore prosperity, keep Americans safe and secure, and hold government accountable,” Pence said in a Fox News op-ed published on Sunday.

Pence referenced the “more than 40 bills and nearly 40 executive orders” Trump has signed as proof of his progress, as well as his work on the economy, homeland security, the military and combating terrorism.

The vice president went on to say the president would simplify the tax code, work with congress on healthcare reform, and kick-start the economy.

“I say with confidence: We will make America safe again. We will make America prosperous again. And to borrow a phrase, we will Make America Great Again,” Pence wrote.

The vice president’s comments come as the White House struggles to pass an ObamaCare repeal and faces daily headlines about the Russia investigation.

Senate legislation to repeal and replace ObamaCare collapsed last week, robbing the White House of any major legislative achievements as the August recess approaches. The ObamaCare repeal debate has also held up other Trump legislative efforts, like the planned infrastructure package and tax reform.

Pence, who had lobbied senators on Capitol Hill to pass healthcare legislation, urged Senate Republicans to “step up to the plate” to vote to repeal and replace ObamaCare in Ohio on Saturday.
