US EditionDemocrats Humiliated After SOTU Stunts Fail to Stop Trump
Democratic lawmakers held a rival rally called the 'People's State of the Union' to protest President Trump's speech and deliver an alternative message.
- On Feb 24, about 30 elected Democrats skipped President Donald Trump’s State of the Union to attend a People's State of the Union rally on the National Mall, Washington, D.C.
- By centering people harmed by his first year, Murphy said, `These aren’t normal times and showing up for this speech puts a veneer of legitimacy on the corruption and lawlessness that has defined his second term.`
- Other participants included Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., Jim Himes, D-Conn., and Senator Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., who spoke on the National Mall.
- Most lawmakers typically attend States of the Union, but this year many staged high-profile protests, marking a notable break from usual practice.
- Protesters on the Mall displayed signs reading 'Protect Our Democracy' and 'No Money for ICE', while a parallel event called State of the Swamp planned to host Democratic politicians on the National Mall.
