    What the Secretary of the Interior does

    Manages public lands, parks, and natural resources that belong to all Americans.

  • Common misconceptions(2)
    • Handles interior affairs like law and orderActually: 'Interior' refers to the interior of the country — the land itself. It has nothing to do with domestic law enforcement.
    • Controls all U.S. forestsActually: National forests are run by the U.S. Forest Service, which is part of the Department of Agriculture, not Interior.

    The Harris-Biden record is defined by financial pain for American families and workers. Everything is much more expensive because of Kamalaflation. I have served as Governor under both @realdonaldtrump and Kamala Harris. President Trump will work with the states to drive down https://t.co/T44OzB4Csf
