Stacey Abrams Delivers Rebuttal to SOTU
Stacey Abrams Delivers Rebuttal to Trump, Says ‘America Is Made Stronger by the Presence of Immigrants, Not Walls’.
Stacey Abrams, a Georgia Democrat, delivered the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, criticizing the president’s call for a border wall and his role in the partial government shutdown. “So even as I am very disappointed by the president’s approach to our problems—I still don’t want him to fail. But we need him to tell the truth, and to respect his duties and the extraordinary diversity that defines America,” Abrams said in a short speech immediately following Trump’s address.
Abrams, 45, made history on Tuesday night as the first black woman to deliver the formal response to the president’s State of the Union address in its 53-year history. She first entered the national spotlight during her gubernatorial bid in the 2018 midterm elections.
