And the state's Democratic governor saying things are getting worse.
Here is part of President Trump's message.
Our nation is back bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before.
You've seen nothing yet.
We're going to do better and better and better.
This is the golden age of America.
Here's reaction from the Republican Governors Association.
Quote, every day President Trump is delivering on his promises and reversing the disastrous effects of Biden era policies by bringing down costs, unleashing the economy and securing the border.
He's made it clear that our nation's best days are still to come.
Governor Andy Beshear, who is chair of the Democratic Governors Association, had a different take on his message.
He said while prices continue to rise and Americans struggle to pay their bills, this president remains solely focused on bringing chaos and division to our nation.
Instead of helping families get ahead.
Trump's big ugly bill is ripping away health care and food assistance.
His reckless tariffs are driving up costs, and his administration's dangerous immigration tactics are creating an American body count.
We have comments from three Republicans running for the U.S.
Senate.
And Kentucky Congressman Andy Barr said, quote, with President Trump back in the white House, the state of our union is strong.
And the great American comeback is underway.
Together, President Trump and I delivered the largest working families tax cuts and border security law in history.
Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said, quote, because of his America First agenda, America is growing again, prosperity is returning.
And the American Dream is alive and well for hardworking families.
But there's more work to do.
President Trump needs strong allies in the Senate to deliver on his ambitious agenda.
I'm ready to help turn those priorities into lasting results.
And candidate Nate Morris said this to say, quote, we are turning the page on chaos and decline and getting this country back to common sense strong borders, safe streets, energy dominance, an economy that rewards hard work instead of punishing it.
When I am in the U.S.
Senate, there will be no question where I stand.
I will fight to advance President Trump's agenda and help deliver the results.
The American people voted for.
And.
