Party leaders opted for a soberly delivered, centrist counter to the president’s speech, but the dominant image of Democratic pushback was a liberal congressman waving his cane in protest.

Mich., who delivered her party's response to President Donald Trump's address to Congress last week, said that Democrats are facing internal struggles.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) argued that since the election, President Trump has had Democrats “on their heels.” Slotkin joined NBC News’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, where she was asked by host Kristen Welker about if the Democratic Party has a leader to help navigate the Trump administration.
