Chris Murphy of Connecticut, compared it to a “2020 campaign rally”.
“It was a total mistake for Democrats to be there. That was a 2020 campaign rally; that was not a State of the Union,” he said. “I regret stepping one foot inside.”

As Trump came up to the podium, Pelosi reached out to shake his hand. In a striking moment, the president declined to return the gesture. She had the last laugh, though: the moment he finished speaking she calmly tore in half her copy of his script.
“Next week, when the president presents his budget, the American people will see the stark reality of his agenda,” Pelosi later said in a statement defending the move.
“A federal budget should be a statement of our national values, and the president has sadly shown that he does not value the good health of the American people.”
