Why Are Some Congresswomen Wearing White At The State Of The Union?

Democratic members of Congress, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., center, pose for a photo before President Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019.

Pelosi's goal for Tuesday night, experts said, was to convey firmness and self-control. "We must reject the cynicism that says allowing every eligible vote to be cast and counted is a "power grab, '" she added, a reference to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's description of House Democrats" efforts to overhaul USA election law.

The women of the House wore white.

Trump drew disdain from many Democrats while calling for legislation that would ban late-term abortions, even in cases where a mother's life could be at risk.

Trump, surprised, said, "You weren't supposed to do that". "No one has benefited more from our thriving economy than women, who have filled 58 percent of the newly created jobs previous year", he said, and he seemed genuinely surprised when a number of female Democrats, all clad in white, stood and cheered.

Whose speech did you like best? Abrams narrowly lost her bid in November to become America's first black female governor, and party leaders are aggressively recruiting her to run for U.S. Senate from Georgia.

Trump also re-stoked America's culture wars, spending a portion of the speech blasting abortion-rights legislation in NY and Virginia, a move that will endear him to evangelical voters. Tuesday's address may have been Trump's attempt to stop that from happening again.

The recent 35-day partial government shutdown over wall funding was evidence of Trump's weakened position. "That's why I thought it was important to bring whistleblower Joel Clement to the speech tonight to help give voice to those the Trump Administration has tried to silence on the issue of climate change".

The viral photo of a child in a cage did not come from Trump's immigration policy, however.

Of course, I am so happy with my moment in the team, but I can not go insane with that. In training, he is told all the time: 'Paul, we see you happy!' And after he laughs".

Trump accepted no blame for his role in cultivating the rancorous atmosphere in the nation's capital, and he didn't outline a clear path for collaborating with Democrats who are eager to block his agenda. "Great nations do not fight endless wars".

The speech painted a portrait of menacing immigrants endangering Americans and a sharp challenge to Congress to build the wall.

And a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll from January 30 found that the number of voters who saw a "crisis" at the border - 4 in 10 - was virtually unchanged over the last three weeks of the shutdown.

For the most part when getting dressed in the morning, one tends to reach for whatever piece calls out to them most. It has a plus/minus 3 percentage-point margin of error.

"He's had a chance to win the public over to his thinking on this, but in order to do that, he had to be more disciplined in keeping the focus on border security, not the wall", observed GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak before the State of the Union.

Pelosi looked a bit miffed at first but then looked down at papers as the President started his speech. "None of this should be taken for anything but what it is - his view of how to negotiate".
