Rep. Ilhan Omar (D - 5th District)
Fifth district Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has clashed with President Trump frequently during her first term in office, disagreed with the president's assessment of a strong economy, and responded to criticism aimed at Democrats.
Rep. Pete Stauber (R - District 8)
Eighth district Republican Congressman Pete Stauber praised the President on job creation, the passage of the USMCA, and supported President Trump's plans for health care, including protections for pre-existing conditions and lowering costs for prescription drugs.
