President Trump’s 100th day in office arrived Wednesday, and he said he’s “just getting started.”
Rallying supporters Tuesday in Michigan, he said they haven’t “seen anything yet,” while he further defended his policies in an interview with ABC News that aired after the rally.
On Wednesday, Trump marks the milestone with a full Cabinet meeting, an event on “Investing in America” and participation in NewsNation’s “CUOMO Town Hall” at 8 p.m. EDT.
On Capitol Hill, three House committees will examine how to push Trump’s agenda forward, and GOP leaders are expected to hold key meetings with skeptics in their party. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), among other Democrats, are set to weigh in on the president’s impact so far in several speeches.
News on the economy threatens to cast a shadow over the day. The first-quarter GDP data released early Wednesday by the Commerce Department showed the economy shrank as a surge of imports ahead of Trump’s tariffs took a bite out of economic growth calculations. New inflation data is due midmorning.
The president, however, insisted Wednesday morning that the economy is his predecessor’s and urged people to “be patient.”
As he hits the 100-day benchmark, some polls show Trump’s lost popularity. That is raising eyebrows for Republicans, who are starting to look toward the 2026 midterms.
Follow along all day for updates.
