(Associated Press) President Donald Trump stood before a Congress and nation sharply divided by impeachment and used his State of the Union address on Tuesday to extol a “Great American Comeback” on his watch.
That’s just three years after he took office decrying a land of “American carnage” under his predecessor.
The partisan discord in Washington was on vivid display as the first president to campaign for reelection while facing impeachment vigorously made his case for another term: Republican legislators chanted “Four More Years.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up her copy of Trump’s speech as he ended his address.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer used Democrats’ response to swivel from impeachment to working-class voters’ worries.
Whitmer mentioned Trump’s impeachment trial only briefly near the end of her nearly 11-minute speech Tuesday night.
She spent the bulk of her address touting Democratic efforts on health care and people’s struggles to pay their bills.
