In 2016, Reyes publicly stood with the then presidential candidate Trump:
“Judicial appointments are one of the most important factors in the upcoming election and will shape our nation far beyond the term of any one President. As a conservative, I am very encouraged that President Trump would strengthen the federal courts with faithful constitutionalists for the benefit of generations
to come.”
In 2017, Reyes weighed in on now Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch’s nomination:
“I applaud President Trump's decision to nominate Judge Neil Gorsuch, a committed textualist and fellow westerner, to the Supreme Court of the United States,” said Reyes. “By any objective measure, Judge Gorsuch is a sterling, eminently qualified nominee in the mainstream of American jurists. His decade-long record on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, where he was confirmed by a voice vote in the Senate, shows that if he is confirmed, Judge Gorsuch will bring to the nation's highest Court a keen intellect, a vibrant pen, and a healthy respect for the judiciary’s proper role in our constitutional system. I urge the Senate to give Judge Gorsuch the up-or-down vote he deserves, and to confirm him as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.”
In 2020, Reyes joined GOP attorneys general urging Senate to acquit Trump:
“Republican attorneys general agree that impeachment should never be a partisan response to one party losing a presidential election,” Reyes said in a statement. “Unfortunately, the Democrats never set out to ascertain the truth and have weaponized a process that should only be initiated in exceedingly rare circumstances. Impeachment casts a shadow over the office of the presidency, undermines constitutional authority, and hurts the interests of the United States at home and abroad.”
