Interactive graphic tracks reactions to Trump's address to Congress
Lawmakers who we spoke with were split over President Trump's address, who only appeared to further deepen the partisan divide by clashing with Democrats and demanding loyalty. I look at the Democrats in front of me. And I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy.

You should be hired and promoted based on skill. And competence, not race or gender, and slashing federal bureaucracy. We've taken the money and reduced our debt to fight inflation and other things, drawing Republican praise, the president talked about *** revolution in common sense, and that's exactly what we're seeing. While Democrats warned of the risks of President Trump's economic agenda and push to change American culture. It's also at risk when the president pits Americans against each other. When he demonizes those who are different and tells certain people they shouldn't be included, there was one rare moment of bipartisan applause after President Trump had revealed that Ukraine wanted to restart peace negotiations with Russia and sign *** mining mineral agreement with the US Reporting at the White House, I'm Amy Lowe.
