#Spanberger, 46, is the second #CIA veteran in 2 years chosen to deliver the #Democratic Party’s formal response to Trump. Last year, it was Senator #ElissaSlotkin of #Michigan, a fellow #moderate who also first entered #Congress in 2018 & had also just won a statewide election. While #Slotkin warned last year that #Trump would increase the #CostOfLiving, Spanberger made a broader case that his admin was working against the #WellBeing of the American #people.
#Spanberger called Trump’s #tariffs a “massive tax hike on you & your family,” & argued that congressional #Republicans were making life more #expensive & “making it more difficult to see a #doctor” while driving up the costs of #energy & #housing.
And she said that while Trump’s policies were hurting “regular Americans,” they were helping himself & his allies.
