As usual, the opposing party was ready with a rebuttal to the President'sState of the Union addresslast night.
Speaking from the House of Burgesses in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger focused onaffordability and immigration.
"As we watched our nation’s lawmakers gather for a joint session of Congress, we did not hear the truth from our president," she said, adding that Trump had "offered no real solutions to our nation's pressing challenges."
"The United States was founded on the idea that ordinary people could reject the unacceptable excesses of poor leadership, band together to demand better of their government, and create a nation that would be an example for the world," she continued. "This year, as we celebrate 250 years since America declared independence of tyranny, I can think of no better place to speak to you as we reflect on the current state of our union tonight."
Spanberger, a former US representative and member of the House Intelligence Committee, became the governor of Virginia last November by a 15-point margin.
Last night she asked: "Is the president working to make life more affordable for you and your family? Is the president working to keep Americans safe, both at home and abroad? Is the president working for you?"
As theEpoch Timesnotes further, Spanberger covered the following topics:
Most of Spanberger’s speech focused on economic issues, with the governor describing Democrats as being “laser-focused on affordability.”
First, Spanberger decried what she described as Trump’s “reckless trade policies.”
Despite the Supreme Court’s recent decision overturning Trump’s authority to unilaterally impose certain kinds of tariffs, Spanberger said, “The damage to us, the American people, has already been done.”
