WASHINGTON,
D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters
released the following statement after President Trump delivered his State of
the Union address:
“President
Trump has delivered more results for the American people in one year than any
President in history,” said
Chairman Gruters. “He has driven down inflation, lowered drug
prices, unleashed American energy, secured the border, restored law and order,
and reestablished America as a global superpower. While Democrats chose
tantrums, stunts, and shameless political games, President Trump chose action —
delivering historic tax cuts, Trump Accounts, a safer America, and real relief
for working families. His America First agenda is working and tonight made it
clear that the best days for our country are still ahead.”
