In the official Democratic response to the president’s speech, Spanberger stressed that Trump’s policies on a range of everyday issues, from health care to housing, have not made life more affordable.

Instead, Democrats focused on affordability in communities across the country, Spanberger said.

“Americans deserve to know that their leaders are focused on addressing the problems that keep them up at night,” she said. “Issues that determine where you live, whether you’re able to start a business or whether you have to skip a prescription in order to buy groceries.”

In his State of the Union address, Trump described how his second term looked at affordability for Americans, such as lowering people’s health care costs, while claiming that Democrats had caused inflation to rise.

“Is the president working to make life affordable for you and your family?” Spanberger asked during her remarks. “We all know the answer is no.”

Spanberger, Virginia’s first female governor and a vocal critic of Trump, was elected last November in an off-cycle election dominated by Democratic victories that were seen as a warning sign for Republicans in the upcoming midterms.
