On January 30, 2025, Doggett expressed condolences for those affected by an aviation disaster at Washington D.C.'s Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA).

Later that day, Doggett criticized former President Donald Trump for allegedly extending anti-abortion policies globally after initiating such bans domestically in Texas and other states across America. "After laying the groundwork for Republican abortion bans in Texas and across the U.S., Trump is interfering with reproductive freedom across the globe."
