New Dem Leadership on the State of the Union: Under Trump, America is in a “State of Chaos”
Tonight, New Democrat Coalition Leadership issued a statement following President Trump’s State of the Union Address to Congress:
“Tonight, the President had the opportunity to show the American people that he was focused on tackling their biggest problems. He didn’t even try.
“Unfortunately – and unsurprisingly – hardworking Americans heard none of the answers they were seeking. Nothing on lowering prices at the grocery store. Nothing about making it easier to buy a home. Nothing about making health care affordable for all Americans. Instead, they were met with the same routine of gaslighting and grievances by a President who does nothing but offer hollow promises. The majority of Americans who believe the state of the union is not strong were proven right, and their hopes were not lifted by the President.
“Thanks to President Trump, the true state of our union is chaos. The American people are facing rising prices driven even higher by Trump’s illegal tariff taxes on small businesses and working families, health care that costs too much or is completely unavailable because of Republican legislation, and one of the worst job markets in more than 20 years.
“They face violence in the streets at the hands of masked federal agents, the threat of foreign conflicts stoked by the President, and a two-tiered justice system that serves an audience of one. All the while, the stench of corruption permeates every action by the Trump Administration, enriching his billionaire buddies off the backs of everyday Americans.
“The American people deserve better from their government, and New Dems know how to deliver better for American workers, families, and the country as a whole. We’re fighting in Congress to make good on our promises and deliver lower prices, affordable health care, and safer communities. Our Republican colleagues can either join us in this effort or sacrifice the well-being of their constituents to satisfy a failing President. The choice is theirs.”
