He isn't Happy!

Leigh Ann Wilson, a Democrat, voted for Trump in hopes he'd use health care reform to curb the opioid crisis. She's not happy with the results so far.


Leigh Ann Wilson hoped that President Trump would improve a lot of things in her home state of West Virginia, particularly an issue close to her heart: expanding treatment for people addicted to opioids.

Wilson lost her daughter, 21-year-old Taylor, to an opioid overdose last year. Weeks later, she voted for Trump, won over by his pledge to fight the opioid crisis by building a wall to keep out drugs - and by reforming health care.

She is not impressed with how things are going so far.

And so on Sunday, Wilson spoke at a health care rally in Charleston, W. Va. organized by the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org. The featured speaker: Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. The goal: To press moderate Republican senators to vote against the GOP health bill this week.

This mother voted for Trump to curb the opioid crisis. She’s not happy with how things are going
