Republican Senator David Perdue is confident in President Trump's leadership. Before the Commander in Chief took center stage for his first State of the Union, Senator Perdue said he expected to hear an "upbeat and optimistic" speech. Senator Perdue says the focus of the Trump administration in the coming year will be on immigration, trade, infrastructure and rebuilding America's military. As for the Democrats who plan to boycott the President's address, Senator Perdue says it is disrespectful not to attend. Despite his objections to President Obama, the Senator would have never considered boycotting his State of the Union.
