GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — For four years, Northeast Wisconsin watched as President Donald Trump put his agenda into action.
"His 2017 tax plan that was passed by congress actually helped people have a little more money in his pocket," said Angel Saavedra Cisneros, an Assistant Political Science Professor at St. Norbert College in De Pere.
A tax plan that Saavedra Cisneros said had benefits for many of us.
"It helped people at the top the most but it did help the average American," Saavedra Cisneros said.
Dr. Saavedra Cisneros also noted President Trump played a big role in fighting the opioid crisis, which he said has hit Wisconsin particularly hard.
"There has been prosecution. It has been his department of justice that has been pushing these prosecutions successfully."
But opponents of Trump would rather look ahead than behind.
Leaders at the Brown County Democratic Party said the economy needs help.
"States and local governments have been saying that we're going to hit economically and we're going to take big cuts in fire and police. No one wants to see that. Which is why this economic stimulus is the focus of the Biden administration and congress," Terry Lee, Vice Chair of the Brown County Democratic Party said.
A stimulus that comes as the Trump Administration leaves a pandemic behind.
A pandemic that experts say maybe cost him the race.
"Had the pandemic not happened, it's hard to tell who would have won. All of the forecasting models, many of which were in before the pandemic suggested it would be a really close election," Saavedra Cisneros said.
And while it was a controversial four years, supporters say it will be a term to remember.
