Democratic Governors Flood the Zone on Trump’s 100th Day in Most Streamed Video Across YouTube in Primetime

Yesterday, on Trump’s 100th day in office, Democratic governors Maura Healey, Kathy Hochul, JB Pritzker and Tim Walz participated in a record-breaking town hall on the MeidasTouch Network – which was the most-streamed video across all of YouTube in PRIME TIME.

The Democratic governors outlined what they are doing to stand up for the people of their states to deliver on the biggest issues facing Americans, while also standing up and fighting back against Trump’s damaging agenda.

WATCH THE FULL TOWN HALL HERE.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz: 

“[Taking Medicaid away] will have devastating impacts on people … and you couple that with the Department of Education that takes away our civil protections around students with disabilities and IDEA, and you have a situation where the Secretary of Health basically said it, and was speaking with the language of eugenics, that some people just don’t matter.” WATCH HERE.

“We can govern with compassion. We can govern with a sense of vision and innovation. And we can govern effectively. Here in Minnesota we’re continuing to show that there’s a better and a different way to do this.” WATCH HERE.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker: 

“I think all of us are deeply, deeply concerned about what’s happening across the country. 100 days in, it’s been, well, a disastrous administration for the American people. Essentially, we’ve seen Donald Trump do exactly the opposite of what he said he was going to go. 100 days in, we’ve seen prices go up. It’s hard to buy a car, hard to buy a house, your tomatoes, lettuce, and beer at the grocery store, prices have gone up, and of course, when he promised he was going to bring peace to Ukraine, and around the world, the opposite has happened. There have been more attacks on our friends and our allies, and move involvement by our United States military across the world. And finally, I’d just say the rights of our friends and family, our neighbors, American citizens across this great country are being taken away … I’m deeply concerned about what the next 100 days will look like.” WATCH HERE.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey: 

“The one thing that [Trump] ran on, he has been an abysmal failure: only making life more expensive, more difficult for residents, for businesses.” WATCH HERE.

“I was attorney general during the Trump years, and we brought hundreds of lawsuits, and I can tell you that this administration is far worse than what we saw with Trump one. And I think that’s evidenced by the past 100 days. What we’ve seen here in Massachusetts, firing doctors and nurses from VA hospitals, denying veterans care, cuts to our research institutions, which mean cuts to those who are currently, right now, involved in the process of discovering cures and treatments for ALS and Alzheimers and cancer, we’ve got clinical trials with people on them shut down in Massachusetts from Donald Trump’s cuts to NIH.” WATCH HERE. 

New York Governor Kathy Hochul: 

“The first 100 days. Is that all it’s been? It feels like every passing day we’re finding another way that Donald Trump is turning the American dream into a nightmare. The stream of broken promises that many people in our country believed in him is just extraordinary.” WATCH HERE.

“I’ve never seen in all my life – and I’ve been involved in elected office for thirty-one years – the way that he is weaponizing the American government against its own people. Let’s just dissect some of these things that he’s done, talk about the tariffs. Who are they helping? Who are the winners in this? It seems to me that we’re all going to be losers. The only ones getting jobs in this era are bankruptcy lawyers.” WATCH HERE.
