Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan delivered her party’s rebuttal to President Donald Trump’s congressional address. Unfortunately for Democrats, Trump’s optimistic and inspiring speech eclipsed Slotkin’s damage control.
To Slotkin’s credit, she pulled out all the stops. She addressed the economy, recent DOGE cuts, tariffs, and foreign policy. Even still, her message was overshadowed by Trump’s address, which garnered an overwhelmingly positive reception.
Democrats pouted and protested during Tuesday night’s address, even during apolitical and heartwarming moments.
The vast majority of Americans approved of Trump’s speech, according to a CBS poll surveying viewers. Nearly 70% of Americans also said they felt hopeful watching the speech, and over half said they felt proud.
Meanwhile, some legacy media omitted covering Slotkin’s address altogether, including Politico Playbook and Punchbowl’s morning newsletter. This is just further evidence that Trump’s speech was another bright spot for Republicans and MAGA supporters across the country, and Democrats felt it.

‘They refused to clap for the families of Jocelyn Nungaray, Laken Riley, Corey Comperatore, or the capture of the terrorist mastermind behind Abbey Gate.’
In a touching exchange, Trump made DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old boy with cancer, an honorary member of the Secret Service, fulfilling Daniel’s lifelong dream of working in law enforcement. Yet in true leftist fashion, Democrats like MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace politicized the moment by bringing up January 6.
“I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer, but I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters,” Wallace said. “And if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn’t one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy.”
Democrats also refused to celebrate Americans whose lives have been lost over the last four years.
“Democrats couldn’t even stand for the incredible Americans President Trump recognized,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said. “They refused to clap for the families of Jocelyn Nungaray, Laken Riley, Corey Comperatore, or the capture of the terrorist mastermind behind Abbey Gate. That’s the sad state of Congressional Democrats today.”
