On August 12, 2025, McClain expressed support for the current administration's defense leadership: "Thanks to the leadership of @POTUS and @SecDef, Americans are flocking to recruitment centers, proud to serve our country in uniform!"

Later that day, she addressed immigration enforcement efforts by federal authorities: "Our courageous ICE officers are hard at work ARRESTING terrorists who are in our country illegally and hiding in our communities. I call on ALL @HouseDemocrats to immediately condemn this disgusting and dangerous rhetoric against ICE officers, who are already facing an 830%"

On August 13, 2025, McClain described her visit to a local wildlife area with conservation groups: "I recently toured the St. Clair Flats State Wildlife Area with @DucksUnlimited and the @MichiganDNR. It is an honor to work alongside them to protect our states wetlands, and fight for our Great Lakes in Washington. "
