Rep. Kelly on Trump’s Address to Congress: ‘He will abandon hardworking Americans for his billionaire friends’

March 4, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) released the following statement after President Donald Trump delivered his address to a joint session of Congress: “Tonight, we heard the same vitriol from President Trump as usual and no plan to lower costs for Americans. He bragged about his culture war against DEI, banning trans kids from playing sports, firing FAA workers, and letting an unelected billionaire run the White House. Nothing he said tonight will improve the lives of Americans. In my district lives farmers, senior citizens, families from all backgrounds, children who rely on SNAP, veterans, workers with disabilities, federal employees – and Trump will abandon every one of them in favor of his billionaire friends.” Issues : Jobs and the Economy
