Lance Gooden, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 5th district, has been vocal on social media regarding his political views and observations. His recent tweets reflect his perspective on the current political climate in the United States.

On November 24, 2024, Gooden expressed concern about international tensions under President Joe Biden's administration compared to former President Donald Trump's tenure. He stated: "Under 4 years of President Trump, we had peace through strength. Under 4 years of Joe Biden, we are on the verge of World War III. January 20, 2025 can't come soon enough."

The following day, November 25, he addressed immigration issues at the U.S.-Mexico border. Gooden tweeted: "A large group of illegal aliens crossed Joe Biden’s open border in Texas on Friday. Where were they from? - Iran - Egypt - Angola - Bolivia Biden laid out the welcome mat for the world; President Trump will roll it back up." This statement highlights his criticism of current immigration policies.

Later that same day, Gooden commented on public support for Donald Trump's presidential transition. He wrote: "A majority of Americans support President @realDonaldTrump's presidential transition. Business as usual in Washington is coming to an end." This tweet underscores his belief in significant changes forthcoming in Washington politics.
