Believe what he does, not what he says

  john, If we learned one thing from the first Trump administration, it’s this: Believe what he does, not what he says. Donald Trump has flip-flopped his position on medication abortion more times than we can count. His latest position is that he’s going to protect it — but this is a …

  Hi john, Last month, my team sent a survey to hear what’s on your mind and what issues you and your family are talking about at the dinner table. These surveys help inform my work in the Senate — I’m here to serve you and deliver for the people of Minnesota. We heard from many peopl…

Trump is not a “protector” of women
