Texas Democrat says President Trump’s State of the Union changed her vote

By Joni Werner | Commentary, USA TODAY

I believe Trump has only the best interests of the U.S. at the core of all his decisions. I do believe the changes he has made are working. Democrats should offer him more support.

I watched President Donald Trump‘s entire 2026 State of the Union speech. And I loved it! Watching it made me more likely to vote in the midterm elections.

This was the first time I wasn’t bored and actually agreed with everything he had to say. I appreciate his businessman’s approach to the economy and tariffs. I loved that he celebrated the people directly affected by his policy changes and celebrated the economy wins by putting America first.

I am disappointed in all the elected leaders who refused to celebrate the people who have been sacrificed because of the policies brought about by the Biden administration.

Democrats should give Trump space to succeed

The speech improved my opinion of Trump, and I believe he has only the best interests of the United States at the core of all his decisions. I do believe the changes he has made are working, and I wish the Democratic Party would give him the same courtesy they gave the Obama administration with illegal aliens.
