Griffith Statement on State of the Union Address, Governor Spanberger Rebuttal
Tuesday, February 24, 2026 – U.S. President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address in the U.S. Capitol. Following the President’s remarks, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger delivered the Democratic Party’s rebuttal.
In response to the night’s remarks, U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement:
“Trump policies helped cool Biden-Harris inflation, lower energy costs and grow the U.S. economy! I support Republicans’ progress to clean up the mess made by the Biden-Harris economy which Governor Spanberger supported.”
“Further, the direction of state policy remains a concern for many in Virginia’s Ninth District. I will continue working my absolute hardest to ensure federal policy helps deliver relief for working families, rural communities and patients.”
BACKGROUND

It will take decades to correct the damage done to this country when Trump is removed from office, and Republicans lose control of the House and Senate. The narrative that Trump “inherited a mess” is false on it’s face and contrary to the actual facts on the ground. As usual, Republicans lie.

Always Thankful Mr. Griffith for your work.
Tax and Spend democrats are a plague.
Keep it up sir.

This SOTU was the most undignified vile speech I’ve ever heard. Completely devoid of facts, in keeping with the lies that come out every time Trump opens his mouth. MAGA republicans will swallow anything that dispicable, corrupt “man” says. Please, please — open your eyes and learn the facts!
And Rep Griffin, please grow a spine and start standing up for the truth instead of this crap. Your constituents deserve it.

As usual, Griffith has had nothing substantial to say. He didn’t address healthcare, tariffs, foreign policy, infrastructure, climate change, or social policy. Just a toe the line endorsement of the pedophile in chief.
