Statement FROM Congressman JOE Morelle on President Trump’s Address to Congress

Image March 4, 2025 Press Release (Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle issued the following statement in response to President Donald Trump’s Joint Address to Congress: "Tonight’s speech was exactly what we’ve come to expect from Donald Trump—more meaningless promises designed to distract from the reckless and destructive policies of his administration. “The American people aren’t fooled. They know we need real solutions to lower costs, keep our communities safe and build a stronger economy—not more tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires. We should be standing up for middle class families, protecting our freedoms, and defending democracy—the very values that have always defined our nation. “This address was another missed opportunity. I can only hope that one day, the President makes a good-faith effort to advance what should be shared goals. Until then, I will continue fighting for what is right.” ###
