Representative Donald Norcross (NJ-01), Co-Chair of the Congressional Labor Caucus and member of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Education and Workforce Committee, released the following statement on President Trump’s joint address to Congress:
“Tonight, President Trump confirmed what we already know: Trump does not care about lowering prices for American families. Since taking office, Trump has launched an all-out attack on American workers, our allies abroad, and our democratic system of checks and balances. Planning to take away Medicaid, Medicare, and prescription drug benefits from seniors and children.
“As prices continue to rise for hard-working families, Trump offered no solutions for Americans who continue to struggle. I co-founded the Congressional Labor Caucus to make sure workers have a voice in Washington. Trump’s anti-worker agenda makes it clear who he stands with, billionaires and big corporations, not the men and women who build our country.
“I will fight back against Trump’s disastrous plans that are hurting South Jersey families. In Congress, I will continue to advance policies that prioritize lower costs, good jobs, affordable quality education, healthcare, and security in our nation. While we may disagree on policies we should never disagree on the cornerstones of our democracy.”

In a recent article published on Insider NJ, author Norcross critiques President Trump’s speech for failing to address the issue of lowering costs. The speech, which was delivered at a campaign rally, focused primarily on immigration and national security, but neglected to touch on the pressing issue of rising costs for everyday Americans.
Norcross argues that the high cost of living is a major concern for many Americans, and that the President’s failure to address this issue is a missed opportunity to connect with voters. He points out that healthcare costs, housing prices, and education expenses are all on the rise, making it increasingly difficult for middle and working-class families to make ends meet.
The author suggests that by ignoring the issue of lowering costs, President Trump is alienating a significant portion of the population who are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living. Norcross believes that addressing this issue would not only resonate with voters, but also demonstrate a genuine concern for the well-being of all Americans.
In conclusion, Norcross’s critique of Trump’s speech highlights the importance of addressing the issue of lowering costs in order to connect with voters and demonstrate a commitment to improving the lives of everyday Americans. By neglecting this crucial issue, the President risks losing support from those who are most affected by the rising cost of living.
