Luján: President Trump’s First 100 Days Have Brought Costs, Chaos, and Corruption

100 Days In, President Trump’s Approval Rating At A Historic Low

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s first 100 days in office:

“In just 100 days, President Trump has driven up costs for New Mexicans, attacked essential programs like Social Security, and put our nation’s public health at risk. The American people are rejecting the increased costs, chaos, and corruption caused by this administration. I’ve heard from New Mexicans in every corner of our state who are deeply concerned about their livelihoods due to these reckless policies and hateful politics.

“Since day one, I’ve made it clear that I will stand up to protect New Mexicans from this administration’s harmful attacks. Over the past 100 days, I’ve fought for everyday New Mexicans — our teachers, farmers, postal workers, restaurant workers, parents, and veterans.

“I opposed the Republican budget that slashes essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP to fund another Tax Scam, defended Social Security, and pushed for urgent action to protect public health. With Elon Musk’s unprecedented control over the federal government — and his firing of hardworking New Mexicans — I have stood with my Democratic colleagues to hold him accountable and expose wrongdoing.

“My commitment is to all New Mexicans. I will continue working to lower costs for families, protect essential programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and SNAP, and defend the rule of law.”
