During Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, a chant of “USA” rang out across the chamber as a large group of attendees jumped to their feet.
Surprisingly, they were mostly Democratic congresswomen.
In Tuesday night’s address, the highest energy moment came when Trump brought up the record amount of women in the workforce, saying women “filled 58 percent of the new jobs created in the last year.” That elicited an unexpected celebration from the large group of Democratic women sitting front and center in the chamber.
