Senator Kevin Cramer, who represents North Dakota in the U.S. Senate, recently posted a series of tweets addressing veterans’ support, party dynamics in Congress, and recognition of his interns.

On July 30, 2025, Senator Cramer highlighted bipartisan efforts to expand suicide prevention resources for veterans: ".@SVACGOP's markup included my language with @SenChrisCoons to ensure veterans in every state are able to receive @DeptVetAffairs suicide prevention support. States like North Dakota and Delaware have never received a grant. Our veterans deserve the same care no matter where they".

Later that day, Cramer commented on the political climate in Washington: "The recent chaos from Democrats has created Republican opportunities, but nothing they are doing helps the country. Right now, they seem to be leaderless. And consequently, the kids are fighting. Despite their infighting and obstruction, @SenateGOP is getting @POTUS nominees" (July 30, 2025).

On July 31, 2025, he acknowledged his staff’s contributions: "Happy National Intern Day to my interns in Washington and North Dakota! Thank you for your work serving the people of our great state."

Senator Cramer's remarks about expanding veteran suicide prevention support reference ongoing challenges faced by rural states such as North Dakota and Delaware in accessing federal grants for mental health services. The legislative effort mentioned aims to address disparities by ensuring equitable distribution of Department of Veterans Affairs resources nationwide.

His comments on congressional dynamics reflect ongoing partisan tensions within Congress during summer 2025 sessions.
