The following day, Cramer marked the anniversary of a significant event in the Middle East, reiterating U.S. support for Israel: "Today marks the second anniversary of Hamas' brutal terrorist attack against our close friend and ally Israel.

The atrocities Hamas perpetrated on Israel October 7 can’t be forgotten. The United States supports Israel and calls on Hamas to release all remaining hostages. https://t.co/tE5bRxXEao" (October 7, 2025).

On October 8, Cramer discussed infrastructure funding after meeting with an engineering and construction firm: "Met with @CDMSmith and had a great discussion on addressing Highway Trust Fund (HTF) shortages in the next highway bill. It’s far past time to get infrastructure funding on more solid footing. Future investments in North Dakota’s roads and bridges are counting on it. https://t.co/WQAsMiUr62" (October 8, 2025).

The Highway Trust Fund has faced persistent shortfalls in recent years, prompting calls from lawmakers and stakeholders to secure more sustainable funding mechanisms for the nation's transportation infrastructure. These challenges have particularly impacted states like North Dakota, where road and bridge investments are critical for economic development and public safety.

Senator Cramer’s remarks reflect ongoing debates in Congress over government spending, U.S. military leadership, foreign policy in the Middle East, and infrastructure investment strategies.
