Larson Statement on Trump's Address to the Joint Session of Congress

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement after President Trump's inaugural address to the Joint Session of Congress:

"President Trump struck a new tone in his address this evening. While he reiterated many of his campaign themes, I was encouraged by his call to work together. The areas of infrastructure, military support and paid family leave are promising proposals from him, but we have not seen any specific plans. There has only been rhetoric from the Republicans, who control all levels of government, and the devil remains in the details," said Larson. "President Trump once again has said they will replace the Affordable Care Act, but they have had seven years to come up with an alternative and we have seen nothing from their side to show. While I hope we can work together, I remain skeptical until we see any specifics."
