RNC National Spokesperson Previews President Trump's First State Of The Union
After one year in office, President Trump will deliver his first State of the Union address. Immigration and the economy are expected to take center stage during the night. RNC National Spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany previews what she expects to hear from the president.
All year President Trump has sparred with the media, claiming most publications, except for Fox News, are "Fake News." When asked about President Trump's take on the media, McEnany says, "no doubt the media leans left." She adds that she hopes the media gives his speech a fair shot.
Midterm elections are looming later this year. McEnany says that, despite stories about an uphill battle for the Republican Party, the RNC is "optimistic." She says President Trump has galvanized everyday Americans to donate no matter how small the donation.
They will consider a short-term funding measure to keep government offices fully functioning and provide emergency funding for Ukraine and federal disaster funds.
A former organizer of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group was sentenced on Thursday to 17 years in prison for spearheading an attack on the U.S. Capitol to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 presidential election.
