“It is truly an honor to serve President Donald J. Trump and be part of an administration committed to putting America first,” Carter wrote. “America’s greatest resource is our people and it will be up to each and every one of us to do our part – I promise you I will never stop fighting.”
A longtime contributor to Fox News, Carter has extensively reported on the U.S.-Mexico border, frequently exposing the failures of the Biden administration’s immigration policies. She has been vocal about the rise in drug and human trafficking, urging the federal government to impose stricter border controls to curb the crisis.
Support for Carter’s appointment poured in from conservatives and law enforcement officials alike. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) congratulated her, emphasizing Carter’s expertise on border security and its impact on drug trafficking.
“Congratulations to @SaraCarterDC on becoming Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy! Sara is an expert on the border and the crisis it has created for drug trafficking. This issue has put Tennesseans in harm’s way for far too long, but Sara will fight relentlessly as Drug Czar to keep our loved ones safe,” Blackburn wrote on X.
Lieutenant Chris Olivarez of the Texas Department of Public Safety echoed similar sentiments, praising Carter’s commitment to national security and drug enforcement policies.
“CONGRATULATIONS, @SaraCarterDC!!! I genuinely appreciate your friendship and overwhelming support for Texas over the years. This is an excellent opportunity for you to effect change and help so many families who have lost loved ones due to deadly illicit drugs. This is GREAT for the country,” he posted.
Since returning to the White House, Trump has wasted no time in implementing his agenda. His administration has moved swiftly through executive actions to reassert control over federal agencies, dismantle bureaucratic overreach, and push through policies aimed at restoring law and order.
Reports indicate that Trump has already signed approximately 100 executive orders since taking office for his second term, a pace that far surpasses that of previous administrations.
Despite Trump’s optimism about his administration’s accomplishments, national polling indicates a divided electorate. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted on March 22-23 showed that 46% of Americans approve of Trump’s performance, while 51% disapprove. Meanwhile, a Fox News poll from March 14-17 revealed a closer split, with 49% approving and 51% disapproving of the president’s job performance.
These numbers reflect a steady, albeit polarizing, public perception of Trump’s leadership. Republican pollster Neil Newhouse noted that while Trump’s approval ratings remain a subject of scrutiny, they are significantly stronger than during his first term.

“Keep these numbers in perspective. The numbers he’s averaging right now are still higher than he was at any point during his first presidency,” Newhouse told Fox News.
Daron Shaw, a member of the Fox News Decision Team, attributed the shift to a more unified Republican Party. “The difference is largely a function of the consolidation of the Republican base,” he explained, adding that unlike in Trump’s first term, the party now stands firmly behind him.
With Carter now at the helm of the ONDCP, Trump’s administration appears to be doubling down on its efforts to tackle America’s ongoing drug crisis. Her strong background in investigative journalism and firsthand experience reporting on the drug trade at the border will likely play a crucial role in shaping the administration’s approach to national drug control policy.
As Carter steps into her new position, conservatives are hopeful that her leadership will bring about meaningful change in the fight against the opioid epidemic and the devastating impact of illicit drugs across the country.
