Trump Praises Economy; Spanberger Responds on Affordability

In his State of the Union address, President Trump highlighted the strength of the economy and outlined his administration’s immigration policies, presenting both as key accomplishments. Delivering the Democratic response, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger pushed back, arguing that many Americans still struggle with affordability and that economic gains have not reached working families. The exchange illustrated the sharp political divide over who benefits from current policies and how best to address rising cost-of-living concerns.
