ST PAUL – On March 4th night, the Minnesota DFL Party released the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress.

“By doubling down on an agenda that Minnesotans are already fed up with, Donald Trump is reminding Minnesotans why they rejected him in November,” said Minnesota DFL Executive Director Heidi Kraus Kaplan. “As he pushes forward with a budget plan that would rip health insurance away from thousands of Minnesotans who rely on Medicaid and a trade war that will raise the cost of everything from food to electricity, Donald Trump is showing Minnesota his true colors. Minnesota Republicans will be held accountable for rubberstamping Donald Trump’s plans to cut taxes for the ultra-rich while shredding programs that support working-class Minnesotans.”
