'Yes!': This is the Republican lawmaker who screamed when Trump talked about paid parental leave


(CNN) During most of President Donald Trump's State of the Union address, members of Congress limited their responses to standard moves like applause, cheers or silence. One of those moments came when Missouri Republican Rep. Ann Wagner reacted to Trump's comments on paid family leave, an effort his daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump has prioritized since early in his presidency. "I am also proud to be the first President to include in my budget a plan for nationwide paid family leave -- so that every new parent has the chance to bond with their newborn child," Trump said. Wagner shouted as Trump touted the proposal. Wagner worked with Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio and Ivanka Trump to put forward a bill last August that would allow new parents to finance paid leave by pulling from their Social Security funds.
