Senator Mark Kelly: I think Trump was a horrible and failed president in his first term. Then he got re-elected, as a convicted felon, by the way. And I think he has exceeded all expectations about how bad he can be in a second term. 💯 Do you agree with Mark Kelly

Sen. Mark Kelly (Democrat from Arizona) recently spoke publicly about President Donald Trump’s performance in office, particularly heading into Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address — and his remarks have been widely shared and debated.

🧾 Key Points from Kelly’s Statement
Kelly criticized Trump’s policies and impact on Americans’ lives.
In his official statement on the State of the Union, Kelly said that people “didn’t hear a real plan to lower costs or make their lives better,” and instead heard “more excuses from a president who promised to lower prices … but has only made Americans poorer and less safe.”

He focused on economic issues including rising living costs, problems with prescription drug prices, and what he described as tax breaks for rich people and corporations that he said were paid for by cuts to programs like Medicaid and food assistance.

Kelly did not use those exact words in his official statement, but in interviews and public commentary he has strongly criticized Trump’s leadership and choices — including saying Trump’s actions have hurt Americans and violated values Kelly believes in.

🧨 On Calling Trump a “Convicted Felon”
It’s true that in the U.S., former President Donald Trump has been convicted on felony charges — something that has been widely reported and is part of current political context.

However, opinions about what that conviction means for his presidency vary widely across the political spectrum. Kelly’s comments reflect his perspective as an opponent of Trump’s policies.
