President Donald Trump on Tuesday night, he delivered his first State of the Union address of his second term. The 108-minute speech made Republicans content, Democrats irate, and independents probably somewhere in between.
How did Pennsylvania’s elected leaders respond to SOTU?
.@POTUS delivers on its promises: peace through global strength, secure borders, safer communities, historic deregulation and tax breaks, falling inflation and greater economic opportunity.

In 2024, Donald Trump came to Pennsylvania and promised not to cut off Medicaid.
He lied.
Immediately after taking office, Trump and JD Vance gutted Medicaid for over 310,000 Pennsylvanians. If that wasn’t enough, hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians saw their contributions…

I’m not surprised that AP Senator John Fetterman finally got all dressed up for once and greeted Donald Trump so warmly this evening. After all, as the White House has already stated, John Fetterman is Trump’s favorite Democrat. #SOLD

Trump today refused to recognize Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors.
He doesn’t care about justice for the hundreds of women and girls – as teenage as 14 – who have endured years of violence.

Instead of listening to the president’s lies, I’m here in the People’s State to talk about how this administration’s efforts to put the luxurious and powerful above the needs of Americans impact you. pic.twitter.com/0szfXhppbo
