Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is set to deliver his annual State of the State address on Wednesday night in St. Paul.
The address will be made to state representatives and senators at 7 p.m. in the House chamber of the state Capitol. Walz said at an unrelated news conference last week that his address will touch on the effects of the Trump administration’s decisions on Minnesota, including potentially large Medicaid cuts, as well as “things to be optimistic about” and ways to “work together.”
“This will be a piece of that,” the Democratic governor said about Trump policy impacts on Minnesota. “We decided to pick trade wars with our allies. We isolated and turned allies against us. We’ve forced many folks into the Chinese sphere of influence on a broader scale, and states are under threat from programs just like this. So I think to try and articulate we’ve got some real decisions to make … I’m also going to focus back that there’s many, many things to be optimistic about.”
The speech will live-stream on the Minnesota House Information YouTube channel.
