Later on the same day, Smith addressed Congress's opportunity to recover up to $135 billion lost to fraud associated with pandemic unemployment. With the statute of limitations on prosecuting such fraud beginning to expire the following day, Smith urged the Senate to expedite action.
On March 27, 2025, Smith tweeted a brief statement highlighting his position that new legislation was unnecessary, positing instead that a change in presidency was the solution needed.
