Rep. Nancy Mace Highlights Key Moments From President Trump's State Of The Union Address, Calls Out The Left For Sitting On Their Hands

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Feb. 25, 2026) — Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) today highlighted key moments from President Donald J. Trump's 2026 State of the Union Address and called out the Left for refusing to stand and applaud for the American people.

"President Trump stood before the nation last night and made one thing crystal clear: America is back. Stronger, bolder, and better than ever before," said Congresswoman Mace. "His State of the Union laid out win after win on the economy, affordability, secure borders, and law and order. And we are just getting started."

Key Wins for the American People:

• Core inflation drove down to its lowest level in more than five years, hitting just 1.7% in the last three months of 2025.
• Prescription drug price reductions of up to 600% for Americans.
• Trump accounts putting $1,000 in the pockets of over 25 million American children. By the time they're 18 it could be over $100,000.
• Mortgage rates at their lowest in four years, making homeownership a reality again for hardworking Americans.
• Nearly three million illegal immigrants removed from the United States.
• Recognizing Angel Families who lost loved ones to criminal illegal immigrants.
• America has the most powerful and lethal military on earth, and peace through strength makes us unstoppable.
• Urging the Stop Insider Trading Act to pass without delay, banning Members of Congress from trading stocks while in office.
• The murder rate has seen its single largest decline in recorded history, reaching its lowest point in over 125 years.
• More Americans are working today than at any point in the history of our country.
• The Big Beautiful Bill delivering no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for seniors.
• Passing the SAVE America Act to protect the integrity of American elections.

While Republicans celebrated historic wins for the American people, the Left showed the entire nation exactly where they stand. Throughout the evening, they repeatedly refused to rise and applaud for moments every American should be able to get behind. Their silence said everything.

Here is a list of what the Left refused to applaud and stand for:

• Securing the strongest and most secure border in American history.
• Recognizing Angel Families, including the mother of Iryna Zarutska, whose daughter was murdered by a career criminal.
• Putting an end to irreversible sex changes being performed on minor children.
• Investing in the financial futures of millions of American newborns through Trump Accounts.
• Making sure violent criminals stay behind bars where they belong.
• Standing united against political violence.
• Gas prices falling to multi-year lows and putting real money back in the pockets of hardworking Americans.
• Cutting the flow of deadly fentanyl across our border by a record 56% in just one year.

“Rather than stand for the American people, the Left spent the evening calling President Trump a liar. The contrast couldn’t be clearer,” Mace added. “We will NEVER go back to where we were before. EVER. This is the golden age of America. God Bless the United States of America, and God Bless President Donald J. Trump.”
