Rep. McBride on Trump’s State of the Union Address: “Trump’s Agenda Rewards the Wealthy and Well-Connected — Leaving Working Families to Foot the Bill”

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Sarah McBride (DE-AL) released the following statement in response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union Address:

"What the American people witnessed tonight was not a serious assessment of the state of our union - it was a trail of falsehoods dressed up as accomplishments in defense of a disastrous agenda.

"In just one year, Donald Trump has raised costs through illegal tariffs, attacked access to affordable health care, targeted immigrant families indiscriminately, broken his promises to working families, seniors, small businesses, farmers, and marginalized communities. He has undermined our progress on climate and strained our alliances abroad-all while pursuing political retribution against anyone who dares to disagree with him.

"Donald Trump's agenda has never put working people first. It rewards the wealthy and well-connected while working families pay the price. Our country deserves better. I'll continue to stand up for our state of neighbors in the face of any attack."
