Later on Wednesday, Congressman Raja joined NPR to discuss Trump's trade policies.

On Thursday, Congressman Raja joined WGN TV to discuss Trump's draconian cuts to social safety net programs.

On Friday, Congressman Raja joined AP News to discuss Trump alienating US allies with his tariffs. He said, "We should be forging stronger coalitions to compete with China.

On Saturday, Congressman Raja attended a giveaway by the Chicago non-profit Christmas in the Wards to support their mission of giving back to the community. He said, "Love and generosity don't follow a calendar. So when we have Christmas and Easter, all it is is generosity, and generosity is welcome any time of the year."
Later on Saturday, Congressman Raja joined MSNBC to call for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress. He said, "An investigation is warranted.
