In response to Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address tonight, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:

“At the State of the Union, a president with a 36% approval rating spent 107 desperate minutes trying to convince us he’s good at his job. Yet by every measure, he is a stunning failure, and Americans are no longer buying what he’s selling.

“Trump promised to lower prices on Day One. Instead, families paid an estimated $2,120 more last year.  

“Trump promised the most transparent administration in history. Instead, he’s spent a year ducking the Epstein files, building a ballroom, partying with the elites, and selling out American families to serve billionaires. 

“Trump promised a ‘Golden Age’ for America. Instead, he’s violated civil liberties and freedoms, ignored the Constitution, and sent masked federal agents into our communities to kick down doors without real warrants, lock up toddlers, and even kill American citizens. 

“Costs, corruption, and chaos. Donald Trump has taken the State of our Union to an all-time low.”
