State Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer and U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse shared their thoughts on immigration, DOGE, the economy and more in a live taping of the Purplish podcast in Denver earlier this week.

In the article "Purplish: A Colorado Republican and a Democrat Give Their Takes on Trump's First 100 Days," published on April 25, 2025, by KUNC, a Republican and a Democrat from Colorado provide their perspectives on former President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office during his second term. The Republican praises Trump's economic policies and deregulation efforts, highlighting the positive impact on Colorado's business environment. Conversely, the Democrat criticizes Trump's environmental rollbacks and immigration policies, expressing concern over their long-term effects on the state and the nation. Both acknowledge the divisive nature of Trump's presidency but differ significantly in their assessments of his performance and its implications for Colorado.
