Gillibrand Statement On Trump’s Primetime Waste of Time

Watch Here. Today, ahead of President Trump’s “speech,” U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) – who will be spending all of Friday traveling across New York talking about grocery prices – released the following statement and video: “At a time when families are paying more for less under this administration, instead of focusing on improving their lives, the president is focused on his own dangerous delusions. “It’s a stark reminder of this administration’s priorities: while Americans worry about paying their bills, the president is still obsessing over an election he lost six years ago. Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Fair and square. It’s time for him to get over it. “And make no mistake: he is already laying the groundwork to undermine our elections this November. “The president is out of touch and out of his depth. He came into office promising to lower costs, but he’s made everything more expensive. “His tariffs are a failure, forcing families to pay a hidden tax on everything from groceries to household essentials. His war in Iran is a disaster, sending gas prices skyrocketing. And his signature policy accomplishment? Stripping healthcare from millions of hardworking Americans, just to hand massive tax breaks to the wealthiest few. “Americans deserve real relief – lower prices, accessible healthcare, and a cost of living that doesn’t price them out of their own lives. That is what I am fighting for every single day. I only wish the president and Republicans would join Democrats in that work, instead of using the Oval Office to lie to the American people.” ###
