Abigail Spanberger of Virginia delivered the Democratic response to President Trump\u2019s State of the Union address.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-8hvvyd\">Tonight, as we watched our nation\u2019s lawmakers gather for a joint session of Congress, we did not hear the truth from our president. Since this president took office last year, his reckless trade policies have forced American families to pay more than $1,700 each in tariff costs. Small businesses have suffered. Farmers have suffered, some losing entire markets. Everyday Americans are paying the price. Our president has sent poorly trained federal agents into our cities, where they have arrested and detained American citizens and people who aspire to be Americans, and they have done it without a warrant. They have ripped nursing mothers away from their babies. Every minute spent sowing fear is a minute not spent investigating murders, crimes against children, or the criminals defrauding seniors of their life savings. He\u2019s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. So I\u2019ll ask again, is the president working to make life more affordable for you and your family? We all know the answer is no.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gov.
