Spanberger slams Trump, calls for unity

(The Center Square) — Virginia Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger slammed the Trump administration Tuesday night during the Democratic response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. Spanberger slammed the Trump administration's tariff policies, immigration enforcement and called for a greater focus on affordability. "As we watched our nation's lawmakers gather for a joint session of Congress, we did not hear the truth from our president," Spanberger argued. Spanberger claimed Trump's tariff policies have cost Americans more than $1,700 and caused small businesses to struggle. She cited the "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act" as the cause of rural hospital closures. "Tonight, the President celebrated this law, the one threatening rural hospitals, stripping health care for millions of Americans and driving up costs in energy and housing, all while cutting food programs for hungry kids," Spanberger said.
