Here's how congressional Democrats plan to mark Trump's first 100 days
By Ed O'Keefe April 24 at 5:00 AM
President Trump is the most unpopular president in modern history — and Democrats are hoping to keep it that way.
While negotiating this week with the White House on a plan to avoid a government shutdown and strongly opposed to any new plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are planning to lead a series of events designed to call out Trump’s work and words on the economy, trade, health-care reform and his vows to “drain the swamp” in Washington.
The offensive begins Monday with a conference call hosted by Schumer, Pelosi and Tom Perez, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and will continue with other events hosted by lawmakers throughout the week.
Schumer noted in a statement that Democrats have vowed to hold Trump accountable, “and as we approach this benchmark, we intend to do just that. So far, the President’s first one hundred days have been defined by broken and unfulfilled promises to America’s working class. The President has yet to follow through on promises he made to improve the lives of millions of workers in everything from health care to trade, and from infrastructure to outsourcing.”
Pelosi got to work Sunday, telling NBC’s “Meet the Press” that as a candidate, Trump “promised jobs. Show us the jobs. Where’s his infrastructure bill? There are many promises, made promises, broken.”
