Two days later, on October 13, she commented on developments in the Middle East involving the return of hostages and referenced former President Donald Trump’s role.

Praying this marks the beginning of lasting peace in the region. ‘Blessed are the peacemakers.'”
On October 14, Houchin announced the posthumous awarding of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk by President Trump.
