Nebraska Democratic Party Statement Post State of the Union Address by Donald Trump
LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair and ASDC President Jane Kleeb issued the following statement after President Donald Trump addressed the nation in the State of the Union:
“As Americans, we just witnessed the most unhinged and divisive State of the Union address to the nation this evening. Instead of uniting the country, President Trump further drove a wedge between the working class and the billionaires. We continue to witness the greatest shift of wealth from those who need healthcare and want to purchase their first home to those who receive pardons and are part of the Epstein Class.
Trump continued his lies about “no new wars” and how the United States has restored its standing globally. Back at home, Americans will continue to wonder what is happening to our private data that DOGE incompetently handled and voter roll information that was blackmailed from states like Nebraska.
Instead of being straight with us on affordability, he insults us with his alternative reality on grocery prices, energy costs, and unaffordable healthcare premiums. Trump also threw out a new “pledge” that data centers will build their own energy. If he were serious about needed regulations around data centers, this would be a law, not a pledge.
He continued to lie to us about “capturing the worst of the worst” by ICE agents when the administration has clearly detained children and murdered innocent Americans in the streets.
Trump continues to fatten his pockets via Emoluments Clause violations, making over $5 billion while in office, rather than tell us how he plans to return the average $1,700 he owes Nebraskans in illegal tariff revenue.
Donald Trump made no mention of the Epstein File survivors who attended, or the worst job market in over two decades, or the contributions by immigrants to this nation during his speech. Despite his assertions that our economy is benefiting all, he will continue to profit off the backs of working Americans like no president before, with cryptocurrency schemes, backroom deals with elites, and oil industry takeovers.
The Nebraska Democratic Party will continue to organize, ensuring Democratic candidates win back Congress in November and hold Trump and his radical administration accountable. This begins at home, where we will work harder than ever to ensure Nebraskans are fairly represented at all levels of our government.
Since 2025, Democratic candidates have won or outperformed 90% of key races nationwide, including here in Omaha and Lincoln, proving that the movement to oppose this administration will continue.
Trump’s polling numbers continue to tank as he continues to fail on his two big lies of unifying the country and making things affordable. If there ever was a time to register to vote and cast your ballot, the midterm elections could be the means to stop Donald Trump and his chaotic and dismantling of our great nation. The Nebraska Democratic Party stands ready to do our part to preserve and protect our democracy that has endured for 250 years.”
