Maloney Hopes President Trump Brings America Together with State of the Union

WASHINGTON — Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) released the following statement in advance of President Trump’s first official State of the Union address.

“President Trump has an opportunity to use this address to bring our country together and step back from some of the divisive and incendiary comments he’s made in the past. America does best when we work together – and that’s something the President has had a hard time with in his first year in office.

“I hope he’ll focus on shared priorities like caring for our vets, comprehensive immigration reform, the opioid epidemic, and investing in our infrastructure. He won’t do anyone any favors by throwing bombs and pushing partisan solutions to our problems. I hope we’ll hear some calls for unity and bipartisanship.”
