In Gillibrand’s own words:
“I don’t think his world view is reflected in the everyday, kitchen-table issues that families are facing. [Ohio voters] are worried about their jobs, they’re worried about access to health care. They’re worried about providing for their kids.”
While this president serves no one but his own ego and political agenda, our New Hampshire staff and volunteers are committing themselves to a weekend of public service to help their local communities. Love our team. https://t.co/NNma63LZZG

Gillibrand then censured President Trump on trade, opining that his policies will harm jobs for American workers:
“I think it was a giveaway to drug companies in Mexico. It’s going to harm our jobs. President Trump said no bad trade deals. Not only has he entered into them but he’s started a trade war with China and it’s really harming producers.”
