FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tonight, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger delivered the Democratic Party’s response to Donald Trump’s State of the Union, exposing his lies about the economy and laying out a plan to help Americans out of the affordability crisis that he and his Republican allies created. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement in response: 

“Donald Trump spent tonight trying to gaslight Americans — but no amount of lies is going to change Americans’ skyrocketing health care costs, utility bills, and grocery store receipts. While Trump continued to spew lies, Gov. Abigail Spanberger gave a master class in real leadership. She offered Americans a path forward centered on delivering real results to make people’s lives better. We are proud to stand with Democratic women like Gov. Spanberger who are at the center of the fight to take back power in this country and put an end to the chaos created by Trump and his MAGA allies.”
