CONGRESS/DEMS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “The House Democratic Women’s Working Group is inviting female members of both parties to wear white to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address next week as a symbol of solidarity…Frankel pointed out there have never been as many Democratic women serving in Congress as there are today. In 2017, the same group coordinated Democratic women wearing white to Trump’s joint address to Congress. At the time, the women said they were wearing white not only in memory of the women’s suffrage movement but also to show Trump their support for a number of issues affecting women, including affordable health care, reproductive rights and equal pay. Wearing white has become common among female politicians who want to make a statement.”
