Beatty Statement on 2020 State of the Union Address

WASHINGTON, D.C.— On February 4, 2020, President Donald Trump delivered the 2020 State of the Union Address before a joint session of the 116th Congress. After the president's speech, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement:

"President Trump's State of the Union Address was condescending, full of exaggerations and plenty of rhetoric. Trump's remarks on education were heartbreaking, with so many public school systems desperately needing additional funding. His healthcare promises come at a time when he and Republicans are fighting in court right now to strip protections for pre-existing conditions; and it was President Obama who set in motion our economic recovery and current growth. Finally, he failed to offer any real solutions, but instead pandered and was deeply partisan."
