Rosen Response to Trump’s State of the Union Address

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the below statement following President Donald Trump's State of the Union address tonight.

"Donald Trump spent hours lying by saying life has gotten better since he came back into office, but Nevadans know the truth: prices are still too high, millions have lost access to health care, and his illegal tariffs are hurting small businesses," said Senator Rosen. "Tonight's speech was not a display of leadership, it was political theater. Nevadans and all Americans deserve better - they deserve lower costs, access to affordable health care, and a president who actually fights for them."

Senator Rosen has repeatedly fought to lower costs for Nevadans across the board. She voted repeatedly to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits and worked tirelessly to find a bipartisan path forward to keep health insurance affordable. Last year, Senator Rosen helped introduce the Health Care Affordability Act to make the ACA's enhanced premium tax credits permanent. Senator Rosen has also voted to overturn cost raising tariffs on Canada and Brazil, and helped introduce the Tariff Transparency Act, which would require the U.S. International Trade Commission to study and publicly report on the economic effects of tariffs on Canada and Mexico- key trading partners for Nevada industries.
