Senator David Perdue On President Trump's State Of The Union Address

Statement

U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA) comments on President Trump's second State of the Union address to the nation:

"Tonight, President Trump laid out a very powerful vision for our country that continues to build on the successes of the last two years. Many Americans are seeing increased paychecks, more opportunities, and brighter futures for their families. The economy is growing at twice the rate it did under President Obama, and more than 5.3 million new jobs have been created. Total unemployment is the lowest in 50 years, while African American, Hispanic, and Asian American unemployment is the lowest ever.

"While much work has been accomplished, we still need bipartisan solutions to address the rising costs of health care, fix our broken immigration system, rebuild and modernize our infrastructure, and negotiate fair trade deals with our partners around the world.

"While we heard a positive message from President Trump, Democrats sat on their hands. There is a stark contrast between the positive results we've seen under President Trump and Democrats' radical policies that have been proven to fail."
