“For two years, Democrats have worked to protect Americans from President Trump and Senate Republicans. We fought to lower the high costs of food, housing, and gas that Republican policies caused. We also called out the president's corruption and tried to stop his chaos while Republicans defended him. We will keep fighting the administration's plans, and I will share more details later today.”
“Mr. President, well, for 2 years, Democrats fought fiercely to protect the interests of the American people while Senate Republicans fought tooth and nail to shield Donald Trump. We all knew how disastrous this President would be. We set out to expose how Trump and his party were hurting the American people, and we would do everything we could to stop them. We fought to lower the skyrocketing costs of Trump’s economy: the cost of food, the cost of housing, the cost of energy, the cost of groceries, the cost of gasoline. Republicans pushed policies to drive those costs up. We exposed Trump for his unprecedented corruption; Republicans aided and abetted his grifts every step of the way. We worked relentlessly to control Trump’s chaos that we see every day; Republicans encouraged him as he spiraled out of control. Later today, I will talk more about how Senate Democrats have worked together to block the worst Trump’s GOP had to throw at the American people. Now, of course, there is still a lot of work remaining to see America through the storm this administration has unleashed. But Senate Democrats are well positioned to stand up for the American people with the same devotion, cooperation, and discipline we showed these past 2 years.”
