- Abigail Spanberger, governor of Virginia, delivered the Democratic reply to the State of the Union and focused on household affordability.
- She repeatedly posed whether Americans are better off now than at the start of President Trump’s term, framing it as a key voter question.
- Spanberger argued that stock market gains have not reached typical families and criticized the tariff program as an effective tax on households.
- Her remarks previewed the Democratic message for the midterms and pledged continued emphasis on making life more affordable.
